Forgive my oversite here, but you have a early model K150, and I have been looking at the schematic for a late K150 model with the 5033 board.

The early model 150s like yours still use the K100s +8 and -8 volt regulator sections and preamp section, so besides Q5 maybe going bad as the issue, something in that + 8 volt regulator circuit could be the bottom line on your issue maybe?

To narrow this down when the amp acts up check to see if your + 8 volts ( red wire to preamp boards) is still 8 volts when you have that 27 volts on the output.

By the way you do not need to keep a speaker load hooked up once the issue starts, this will save your ears and speakers!
