Trouble, big time

I have always relied on my Kenwood KR 6050 and built my whole setup around it as it was one of the first components I got with my Dual 606 (might tell the short story if y'all are interested). However one day BOOM, the amp blew a fuse and apparently, the power amps left side blew and both of the transistors test dead shorted (in-circuit but the connector disconnected) The transistors are labeled "B700A 9F3" and "D736A 0A3". Is there any website I can trust to buy these/some other equivalent transistors? I've heard that old Hitachi and Sanken transistors are faked a lot. I live in Turkey which might be a problem for outside sourcing however this amp has a bit of sentimental value for me. the thing works with the left side disconnected but I don't know for how long the right side is gonna last too. However, I am ready to sell it as parts too even though it's a mispress (from what I heard) saying 6060 instead of 6050.

Sorry for the inconvenience but I do have a treat if y'all can help me fix my amp (spoiler: my new "rack" including two rare pieces ;-)
