Fred, DID YOU CHECK FOR OFFSET YET??? Seems that you are making this MUCH harder than it needs to be. Checking individual components with a meter IS NOT the way to fix a unit like this. Unless both channels are burned beyond recognition, you really don't need a schematic. You can check the good channel for resistor values, etc. The output amps are a more or less standard complimentary push-pull type. Fix one, you fixed 'em all!!!
