What about adding a 12v fan for cooling, like those found in computers ?
Don't be so sure it's something you can trace and solder, either. I've
fought similar problems that turned out to be inside the ICs ! In fact,
there's a 70's era stereo in my garage that needs a good thump occasionally
... the bad connection is inside the amplifier IC.
