Hi Its a few years since I worked on one regularly. Have you checked the Mains dropper ? I can't remember if the cut out cuts the mains to the whole set or if it interrupts just the supply to the line stage. I don't have a circuit to hand and I can't find one on line. The other thing I would check is for dry joints or O/C print on the power panel they used to get a bit cooked after a few years.
