I got a freebie Line 6 Flextone I

A colleague has had this Line 6 Flextone Duo 2x12, 2x50W stereo digital modelling combo from new, but it's feeling its age and started randomly switching channel/efects when it's warmed up. He bought a Fender The Twin (red knobs) but finds it's not practical, especially as he's moved back in with his folks, so he's bought a smaller Fender and he's given me the Line 6 to play with ("it would cost more to repair than it's worth"). At bedroom volume with the covers off it doesn't seem to have any issues.
Looks like this:

Controls are the same as this head:

Quite fun to play with the effects, not a lot of circuitry, so I think it's time to get out a hair dyer and see what makes it go berserk when it gets warm. There seems to be a Philips microprocessor, some Texas DSP chip, a chunk of memory - could be any of these, though I would guess the uP. I wold post pictures but Trish has taken the camera on a school trip (>>Osborne House<<, nothing to do with Sharon and Ozzie) today.
It didn't come with the FB4 floorboard, so if someone has one they want to get rid of, let me know
