Have been asked to look at this Marantz PM6004 amplifier, report is it

Before tearing it apart, are there any common issues with this model?

What it appears to do, on a dummy load, is the protection circuit is
kicking in, seemingly at random...

Obviously I'll get in there and measure voltages and waveforms when I
have it set up on the bench later
