Sounds like you may have a bad tube in there somewhere. I work on amps, and I've found that this issue is usually related to a tube.
​
When you hear the signal drop out, turn off and unplug your amp. Give it about 15 minutes and listen to the amp...if you hear any feedback or popping sounds you'll know its a bad tube.
Also, check the color of the tubes. Any purplish coloring means a bad tube.
​
I wouldnt know for sure without looking at the amp, but given the loss of signal its generally related to a tube.

Yeah, you should have no issues pulling out and replacing each tube to see if you have a faulty one in there somewhere...
As far as the parts you shouldn't touch, all that stuff is inside the head....it's those big capacitors you need to watch out for. Feel free to message me if you have any other issues. I also have a bias probe if you should need.
