[NLRS] Question on TE 1410G amplifier

I have a TE 1410G 2m amplifier.  It has been drawing high current.  It delivers about 50 watts out with 20 amps, and with full drive applied about 110 watts output with 35 amps.  13.8 vdc.  I think spec for max output for this amplifier is ~ 160 watts at 25 amps.  I've seen low or no power output with blow finals, but not excessive current like this.  Is it a degrade RF final?  Will a degraded device cause low-ish output with such high current draw?  Original parts are MRF 247, replacement parts are 2SC2782.   Thoughts?
