Yeah but 40% are PICTURES and they don't count.....unless you happen to be an ex-Torpedoman, Boatswain's Mate, or a Bloody MARINE!

Thanks dr! Have been looking for something like this for a while. And the price is right!
I went through it, it covers a lot,nice addition to the library. basically what I learnt in college in the late 70-80's. Still are making 7400/4000 series logic, cpu's have come a long way. all good info to know, if it applies to what you are doing.
As far as audio amplifier design books, go to Bob Cordell's new book, pay the $, it is worth every $, if you are serious about understanding this topic. it will be out soon, that and ltspice simulator, the defacto standard these days for linear design.
That is how I did this STK-0050 design, ltspice and orcad. I have never made one for myself, all virtual, it is cool and rewarding to be able to do it and share it with the world.
Cheers to Zeb for stepping up and making them available to everyone.

Rick, attached is an SX-580 sim for STK-0050 from LTSpiceXVII. It was adapted from another of your sims. The output is way overdriven (square wave) but produces no errors or complaints from LTSpice when run. If you get the inclination to run it . . .
I put the tone controls' components in the schematic because they are integrated into the power amp stage negative feedback loop, but may not be necessary to the simulation. I used two equal resistors to emulate the (centered) tone control pots.
AK would not let me upload the .asc file, so I zipped it.
Enjoy, and thanks for your work!
EDIT: P.S. Please verify I subbed the correct transistors . . .

Made those changes in my sim and got the same result

Is there an easy way to test an STK-0050 out of circuit?
One usually uses an ohmmeter, sometimes you have to isolate a component from the others to make a proper measurement or factor in the ckt arrangement (if know it) to make sense of your readings.
A test jig will work too but you still have to isolate the fault if want to repair it.
The ckt has floating emitters at the o/p, it is a 2 emitter follower design, so the two base-emitters are in series for 2 Si diode V drops, >= 0.6V * 2
The Vbe mutiplier can be ohmed out. Always can ohm out a good one vs a dead one.

The best method, is to check the voltages of the six pins that connect to the board. 1, 2, 3 and 0, 9, 8. With the set turned on and powered.

The short answer is "yes." Instead of searching through 20+ pages:

It depends on the set your installing them on but 7mV across the one emitter resistor will get you a nominal, working setting.

Is there a list compiled of which modules this will work as a replacement for? I have a Technics SA-300 that uses an STK-0039. From what I've read in this thread, it sounds like it would be a suitable replacement. Would there be any component changes? The receiver is spec'ed at 35 wpc.
I have not compiled a list myself. Basically it consists of the intended Pioneer SX-780, a few Fisher models and a Technics ST-SA5ES so far to my knowledge.
As for any design, the mechanics have to be verified for fit and form.
Always a good idea to post a pic(s) showing how the original is mounted in your unit for us to evaluate.
Electrically I think it will work.

I will be building a couple of the modules. Regarding fusing of the modules. The note in the Mouser BOM is to replace the links fo pins 2 and 9 with a fuse. Just so I'm clear, that would be the wires I colored red in the clip below?? I bought a few of the fuses in the BOM but would the blade style plastic fuses, that you typically see in cars, work just the same? If so I could used the fuse holder shown below so in the event of a blown fuse it would be easy to replace. Assuming there's not a catastrophic failure to figure out.
