I have an old SX-780 that I keep down in my studio. It's rated at 150 watts. Occasionally at high volumes the sound goes out completely. This happens about every other year or so. I always take it to a local repair center and they fix it for about $65 a pop. I have never asked what they replace, but the last time it was repaired the receiver only lasted about 2 months until the volume went out again.
Does anyone know what is happening, and can I have someone do a mod so this doesn't happen again?
I would hate to shelf this thing for good. I had it for so many years and when it works properly it sounds great.
Thanks!

Buy it before someone else does.

To be clearer, thermal shutdown. It's running hot, I theorize.
