I've got an old Technics SA-R210 stereo receiver from the 80's which I've relied
on for ages.

Woke up this morn and it played for a while, then silence. Powered down,
let it sit 10 min., powered up and it worked again for 15 min.,
then silence.

Receiver is in a cabinet with little ventilation. Obviously likely
to be a
heat related problem.

Does this suggest a particular component? I can bench-test, solder
a little.
How difficult to repair DIY??

I have one of those and an SA-160. The 160 had a problem with cracked
solder joints on voltage regulator transistors on the main heatsink.
The 160 is a little odd to disassmble and I think the 210 is similar.
Got a digital camera? take lots of pics as you open it up so you can
get it back. You _might_ have a thermally intermittent power regulator
but bad (metal fatigue) solder is far more common.
