Hello, I have a Blues Deluxe Reissue. Corona CA. Made in Mexico.
It's a few years old but very little play since I have other amps I also use. When I play for about an hour even at very low volume the red indicator light goes dim and the power/volume drops.
Any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

Likely, you have a power-supply issue, probably transformer-related. I would look to the tranny's heater tap first since if something is wonky there, it will affect the entire tube array AND the pilot lamp.

Inside the amp look for the two green wires from the power transformer going to terminal plug CP19 , CP20 on the printed circuit .

Coonectors at the green wires "broken" or loose , connector at the printed circuit with solder broken ...
