If a Thermal Trak transistor fails it will cause the amplifier to run very hot on that channel even on idle. The entire top of the amplifier will be hot but if a measurement is taken one side will be hotter than the other unless there has been a failure on that channel too.
I am not sure if there is a situation where a Thermal Trak transistor not working properly but not completely failed will only show up when the load is demanding. If anyone has a problem with a Magtech amplifier they should call or email Roger Sanders. He is very responsive.
It is especially helpful if you can report actual temperatures instead of relative terms (e.g. hot). A multi-meter with a temperature probe is one useful option to measure temperature.
