Thanks pleat,
I ran the extra cab for just a few minutes and later encountered the 'hotness' while using headphones.
I had notice a faint odor some time before plugging in the SWR, but it seemed like normal "old amp working smell"

Additionally,the "to tape recorder" output was not working when I got it and I did notice quite a wide bit of variety in the sound of all the inputs in both channels, I assume that various components ageing in different ways might be the reason for that, but perhaps it was a precursor to a part failure?

I'm wondering what the most common failures are with these amps.
