100% going to add heat sinks: have some on order. Thinking of possibly remoting the resistors, maybe the regulators. Funny enough, the DSP board regulator was remoted with a thermal pad chassis. Measuring the caps, accidently re-installed and pinched the wires for it running under the PCB causing the DSP power bridge to fail closed! the Hakko 301 desoldering gun made this MUCH easier. Did the replacement in 4 stages, testing after; took a good bit of time. Did not replace the amp res caps yet, they are an odd size/spacing making choices limited. Ordered 15 NOS FM off the Digikey marketplace, 4 seemed bad. Non marketplace digkey has been close to 100% perfect.
