The flat side does lie against the heatsink. Did I screw it up?![]()
:yes: Its install 180 degrees out. Needs to be flipped around.

I flipped it around and the resistors are still smoking.
Not to argue because I know you have VAST more knowledge about this but according to this datasheet the base should be on the left side with flat side facing away from me. The service manual shows the base the trace(?) closest to the corner. If that were the case wouldn't the flat side go against the heatsink? I'm confused where I messed it up. :tears:
That is correct(ksc1845) but.. the little outhouse shaped 2sc458 the slopped roof corresponds to the rounded side of the KSC1845
The Service Manual image of the Main Amp board is actually a mirror of what the board looks like, not sure if that changes things.
Did the 2SC458 look exactly like the KSC1845?
Kind of, it has one big flat side and then a smaller flat side. Is that what you mean?
So comparing to this data sheet the round side is the larger flat side of my 2SC458?
So the transistor I have is actually a 2SA458?
Now I'm really confused.
Does that mean all my transistors are in backwards?
Believe me when I say I don't doubt you, I was just trying to learn from my mistakes, all of your help is more than appreciated. After all of your help I think I owe you a drink of your choice.
I had previously swapped it around but I'm still getting smoke (since I swapped the board the old resistors smoke up faster). If you go by the pic I have posted I have the MJE182 installed on the left and the MJE253 installed on the right, both with silver square facing down. I also have the original 2SB om the left and the 2SD on the right.
Are these installed correctly?
