[HCARC] In need of an amp doctor

I have an Ameritron AL-80B that needs some attention. I acquired this amp
from the family of a silent key, so I don't know a lot of its history. When
I try to run it at around 400 to 500 watts, it will randomly hiss at me and
the power drops to zero. The very next transmission, it usually works fine.
Sometimes, instead of a hiss, I hear a click and power drops off. I am
hoping someone out there has some experience working on these things and
give it a look see for me.
