I'm working on a 2270 for a friend of mine. Both output transistors on one channel are blown.
This is a very early serial (1072 - champaign faceplate). This receiver was completely recapped about 6 months ago and operated just fine until very recently when the outputs failed and blew a fuse (on turn-on I think). The bias transistor was replaced with a KSC3503 as per Catrafter's suggestion.
I cannot find a reason for this failure. I have checked all the transistors on that amp board and they are fine. I'm reluctant to replace the outputs without knowing the cause of the failure.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, thanks.
