With the sound fading in and out, I'd suspect either the CAT 150 (40%) or more likely the CAT 117 (60%+).

Keep us posted.

The edge connector on the 112/113 slot can be mighty flaky after all these years. Try some electronic cleaner.

Could be the 111/117 as Tony says, or it could be one of the cat. No. 64's. Try swapping the center 64 with one of the others.

Does your Cat. No. 150 have the green signal presence lights on the front? If so, keep an eye on that when the center channel sound fades.

Do you know for sure it's not the center power amp failing?

Sorry for the scolding.
