How would silicone damaged components? Lots of silicone in geetar amps holding specifically electros from vibrating against one another. -
The kind of silicone used by manufacturers (hot glue, etc.) is designed to be permanent and bound. This case seems to be a sprayed-on cleaner or shine. A lot more volatile, and designed to be applied repeatedly. Think Armor-All, etc. It eventually evaporates, albeit slowly, but after 20 years of repeated application, who knows where it goes? And anything that smells that bad can't be good for anyrhing, man or robot.

The issue with silicone based emulsions is their nasty effect of softening anything between the silicone emulsifiers and the metal (steel) that the product is seeking out. You might try using 3M adhesive remover to clean off the heavily loaded surfaces.
You mentioned you are getting 140 W RMS into a 4 ohm load. Is this one of the later "red face" panel Concerts? I would put a signal through the preamp and check out if that is where you are getting what I assume is distortion.Comment
