I have read every thread on the forum and yet have an unanswered question.
I traded recently for a 2270. One of the newer ones with all the mods and S40442 / 443 output transistors. But, one output on one side is shorted, C to E. After removing all four outputs I checked the rest of the amps out and they are fine. The drivers play well into 1k ohm loads so there don't seem to be any thermal intermittants either. My instincts tell me to replace all four outputs with OnSemi outputs and be happy. But the pureist in me sez to just replace the shorted ones and leave it original.
Mouser currently has the MJ21193G / 4G replacements in stock and the price isn't bad. Could someone tell me if there is a compelling reason to upgrade all the outputs, or not? I'm kinda stuck on this point for some reason. I also intend to re-cap everything to as this is probably a keeper.
