C 47...possibly on the fritz

Not sure what to think about this issue. Last night after excessive drinking and jamming out for about 10 hours at around 300 watts my preamp went crazy. It went full power when trying to adjust the volume and sounded all scratchy regardless of input. I immediately turned it down and the unit had a hiss and was measuring at 2 watts with volume all the way down. If I tried to adjust the volume the left and right speaker would crackle, come in and out and go full power with just a little adjustment.
I then hooked up another preamp and it worked fine so I put the c47 back in place and still the same issue. I then shut it off and cussed all the way to bed. Fast forward to this morning...i wake up go down stairs to possibly box it up and it is working fine. I'm a little confused. Did it need a break? A time out? Or could this be a bigger issue? It's working fine now.
