120C is definitely warm but it is a power resistor so you would expect it to get warm.
The two transistors together on a block (of aluminium?) seem to have a large disc (capacitor?) bent over and touching one of them. Bend that gently away from the transistor (just far enough that they can't touch).

When the osciloscope start, works fine, but when is goes hot, only 2 timelines works, other need tap for see for 1 sec a image. I measured the resistor with infra again, and when this one goes to >120c , trouble start. Strange..
I bended for fix position of transistor of photo.

thx!

Right, but the fault i think is when is going to hot , can be some short circuit, in a bad solder or bad component like a resistor or transistor..i think..

Looking at the schematic/photos there are quite a few electrolytic capacitors. These components can dry out or exhibit symptoms of aging.

All the large can shaped capacitors are the electrolytics ... metal, blue. Each electrolytic cap will have + or - polarity stamped on it some place. It is necessary to keep track of this polarity orientation... The best fix is to remove each one and test it using a capacitor tester. Alternatively, just replace each one with the specific equivalent ... uF and also voltage. If you de-solder any of the capacitors, use solder wick, apply sufficient heat to each lead, and try not to damage the circuit trace rings on the board ... This may take a little practice. Don't forget to first mark the polarity orientation on the board.
