This is going epic! If you give up send it to me and I'll take a crack at it just for the academic aspect of it.
sure. I would have let it go but now it's a challenge.

We can't forget R735 was smoking, is it still good?
take a good look at h713 .
if it appears good remove h711 and power it up and see what voltage at h713 base .
r727 ok ?
But why did it get hot, something was pulling too much current thru it.
was the grounding checked ?
best also check h709 .
i can only guess at things as there are more than 1 thing that can be happening here .
j709 j710 each have grounds . and have to be connected well .
shown as a thick black line on the schematic . they should connect to the chassis ground .
h715 h716 15v zeners .
c704 c703 both in backwards .
r716
r717
look at those zeners first ..maybe mistakenly swapped for regular diodes or incorrect voltages .
there should be 15v accross each of those zeners .
r716
r717
should have approx 30v across each .
yes they should regulate the voltages to 15v +-
i just noticed h701 base being at 6.5v .. it really cant be and should be close to 0v .
h701 may have a problem .
base of h702 appears high because of the high voltage further on .
if you turn r741 it should change that voltage .
