Would it have been possible for a Power transformer wire to get hot enough to melt the coating into the leg of the diode wire, causing the diode to short out when it was a metal to metal contact.

What voltage is normally on the brown transformer wire?
And did it weld to the cathode (stripe end) or anode of the diode?

Cheers

  The transformers get hot. The wire is hooked to the transformer.
  And it was the striped end of the diode.
  You tell me. Why do you think it got so hot?
  But, I can tell you this... The problem that existed is now gone. The amp played great today for 10 straight hours. Football Games early in the day and Music the last 4 hours...

    Suggestion go research 'zener diode used as shunt regulator.'
    Then find out what the transformer brown wire does & what AC voltage it supplies.
    
    Cheers
