    The connection from what can be seen looks fine, no signs of corrosion. In addition, if the radio went from working to crackle 'overnight', unlikely to be a corrosion issue. It almost sounds as if the aerial connector has been dislodged from the back of your radio, again, an unlikely scenario.

    Your radio is now 21 years old, likely something internal has just gone faulty.

    If it were mine, I'd start by pulling the radio out and checking all the connections at the back of the radio. A replacement set won't be prohibitive as plenty listed on Ebay. An advantage of owning a 'classic' car.
