I would put an ammeter in series with the receiver and
check the current being drawn. You may have a filter
cap going bad and the current may be up near the 1 Amp
fuse rateing. Sometimes a fuse being operated near
its rateing will not blow immediately, but will blow
hours after it is replaced. Also make sure the
receiver speaker output has a load. GE receiver audio
amps tend to oscillate if the speaker load is lost.
You may or may not hear this in the audio output
depending on where the output is tapped.
