   At the output stage, playing the 100Hz tone, measuring across a single   
   transistor and ground, using the 200v AC meter, with the speakers turned   
   off, I read about 38-39 volts at maximum volume, so this may be useful.   
   Thanks for that tip. But since I turned the volume to max, the problem   
   has disappeared so I have to power down the unit until it returns. In   
   the meantime I will map out my probe points.
