8 volts is high - - would also explain compression too.

How are the resistors doing back there?

Im posting the above for a template for you to look thru and we'll use these to highlite some areas

[USER=22]@nomadradio[/USER] - he was spot on with the resistors - R272 is a 10K - sets the gain for the Driver of the Darlington pair, which the Max Mod part is the main output of, and tracks the output, using R272 as a "Gain limiter" - if the resistor has failed - you get crunchy audio, too much gain.

But you also mentioned 8 volts - so to me the VR14 mess may have opened - again another one that suffered from too much current draw. If you cannot adjust VR14 - then it's shot you'll need another.
