If the switch you call mute is the same as the Direct switch on the CA610II in that it basses the tone amp, it may be the culprit. My 610 had a similar illness and I finally traced it there. The prior own likely never used it. I do. It's a dog clean and took repeated hits over a month before it permanently, I hope, stopped. I was at the point of pulling the board and desoldering the switch.
You may also want to contact Merrylander on audiokarma.com. He is a resident guru on Yamaha. Before retiring from the bench he would buy refurb and sell them at a loss it seemed but made it up in volume. He also made beautiful cabinets.
