I think it's ready to go full power. See updated voltage with the outputs hooked up in post one.

I fixed the typo. Thanks for the help. I will try to get it going this weekend.

Could this crossover have something to do with the problem? The amp played fine until I hooked up one of these.

Sorry I guess I should have specified. The bad 1N4004 is in the amp. I never know the speakers had a protection circuit in them. I think the relay open up and things when to hell fast. the relay was welded in the open position and the woofer was smoked. I had the woofer repaired and removed the protection parts from the crossover and they sound really good now. Thanks for the input.

I think I may be back in business.

Bias transistor matching
I have gotten tired of looking at this sitting in pieces so I am trying to get it back together. I have read that these transistors need to be matched. I would think the L51s would need to match each other and the L01 would need to match each other. Do the L51 need to need to match the L01? How close should they match?
Thanks

So I have the first channel back together and hooked up to the power supply run through a 150 watt DBT. +61.3/-61.9 on the rails. Draws .4 amps at 115 volt ac and .73 volts on the output. It does produce sound. The transistor I have marked 4 gets hot pretty fast. There is 9.4v at emitter, 10v at base and 29.5 at collector. Does these sound right? Should I go full power?

730mV at output - that's DC offset?
if yes , that's too high
say that 100mV is highest you can allow, in temp. equilibrium
replace all old electrolytics, same as these nasty tantals - use modern electrolytics instead
regarding transistor you marked as 4 - which one is it on schmtc (it's too small in resolution , so I can't de-cypher)?
