Just to say thanks to all for the tips - a couple of 10µF electrolytics
mounted on the PCB sorted it.

Sounds like a good idea. It was interesting to see how a real consumer
manufacturer approaches the tricky business of cost-cutting. And I
wonder how many died through oscillation. Warrantee repairs are
horribly expensive things to deal with.

To be fair it did work just fine for some 15 years.

Yeah, Ive got two Yam AX-496 85 watt/channel amps, both still pumping out a fine
sound (IMHO) all these years later.
