As far as your TFM-35 goes, read through the service manual HERE. Identify any service bulletins needed and familiarize yourself with the layout of the amp.

Uneven decay of the power supply is a known cause of turn off thumps and squeals. Has your 1.5 ever been recapped? The CT-7 looks just as bad as the CT-17.
