Technics Amp

[electro phil]

I have an SA-GX690 Technics AV stereo receiver (about ten years old) it
has never had any thing wrong with it before, but now it trips the
overload. If i listen to it at medium volume it's fine but after
increasing the level it shuts down and needs turning off then on again
to work again. Would it be simply dust inside causing it to run hotter
or something simple?
Any help appreciated

**Check for shorts on the speaker cables, or inside the speakers. You can
determine this by alternately connecting one set of speaker cables.

Is the FAN working?? Try wiring it so its allways on.
Does it get hot on top of the case??

Speaker wires appear to allright, fan is working and not getting any
hotter than usual. Amp will run at half throttle all day without
tripping but soon as volume is turned up it shuts down.
