On bose radio
I have a 1990 with the cd/cass radio system - down in the bottom right of screen it show svc . After reading in owners manual it sounds like as a theft deterrent that the cd player can be stopped from working under certain conditions. Mine doesn't work but the radio like the car is old and most likely just doesn't work but could it be the theft thing causing the problem?

If you mean the letters SCV instead of SVC hears what that indicates.
If you look at the left side of the volume control ****, silk screened are the letters OFF L H. If you look closely you'll see behind the volume **** is a small **** that can be rotated to the OFF L or H positions.
From the user manual for the Bose Gold CD/Cassette/AM FM Radio
Speed Compensated Volume
This 3 position switch will automatically compensate for the increase in road noise levels at higher speeds. At normal driving speeds, set the volume control as desired.
Switching to L or H causes the volume to increase as your speed increases. The H position will give you a higher maximum volume than the L position. The H position will also increase the volume faster. Use the L position while driving with the roof panel on or convertible top up and the windows closed. The H position is best when driving with the roof panel off or top down and windows open. This feature can be turned off by turning the **** to the off position.
If you turn that **** to off with the radio on, the SCV display should disappear.

You are describing typical problems with this unit. Join the croud. When I bought my car 3 years ago the guy had just had the unit re-worked. The CD player worked for about a year. Now nothing.
Eckler's has a rebuild and re-work service if you want to check them. But be ready for the unit to quit again before long.

Most folks at CF rave about Dr. Don's repair service on our Vettes AM/FM/CD radios. I also believe that he updates the CD player to also play your personal burned CD's :
