Also make sure the VCO locks are in the OPERATE position. They should be in the TRANSIT or LOCKED position if/when the station is moved. This won't affect the problems your having, but it will allow the VCOs to pick up noise from anything mechanical outside the station, like fans or rotating machinery.
The control tray should be slightly warm. Heat would be generated on the IPA/REG board in the center rear; nothing else should create noticeable heat. The only item that needed the fan was the PA/PS assembly at the top. The fans were usually mounted between those and the control tray.
