When the power switch or remote power isn't working, it is always on when plugged in. I know when it is working again as when I plug it in, it is off and I need the remote to turn it on. Of course after this, the remote no longer turns it off and in manual the power switch doesn't turn it off, so I unplug it. Since it is intermittent, I'm hoping it's failed capacitors. My guess is the triac will either work, or it won't. Not sure about the optocoupler. I figure that since it's from the early 70s, it's not an LED inside.
