Congratulations, GRoper !!
This is exactly how my own preamps are designed - and they run on +24V.

Get yourself a freeze-spray can - in a pinch, auto refrigerant.
Spray the driver transistor and the output transistors, and the emitter resistors. Also, use a magnifying glass to check the PCB tracks, perhaps wash the whole board with alcohol.

Yes, and you can flip the PCB and verify that the heatsink solder pads don't connect to anything - check for swarf, etc.
#4
No need to worry - the chip IS bolted directly to the heatsink, which is left UNCONNECTED to any wiring traces on the pcb. I just use regular white lithium grease - works great.

C25 and R34 are the Zobel network - Marshall is NOT using the datasheet recommended values, but you can get the parts from RadioShack.

Check the Zobel network (resistor-capacitor in series across output) - I have found the capacitor blown on a number of the Marshalls that us the TDA2025 chip...
