So obviously true. Duh. I'm a little embarrassed. The symptoms do indeed tell me where to look.

So, finally looking at the schematic, there are two ceramic caps, one coupling and one de-coupling. Those aren't known for this kind of problem as far as I know. Prime suspect is probably the 12CA5 socket, it did happen after a period of use and being fully warm. I am not where the set is for a few days but I'll start with a wiggle of the 12CA5.

Any other suspects?

Thanks!
