These are old war wounds from the Audya ( and I am getting all emotional now) these all got fixed, no one has an Audya locking up anymore and I don't think it's anything to do with extension cords and I don't want to talk about it anymore, I get upset and start shaking.. the MS40 is an old piece of kit, surely if it did have lock ups they would have been cured or known about. TWD is perhaps your best man ever with this kit, not sure he is that old he would remember a MS40 unless I have my facts wrong on the age of the MS40.. good luck with it. If you are distrubing something when you take the top off a clean and look for dry joints might be in order.
