i cant understand where my power is going i cant find it anywhere.

i have 12v on the center leg of the power supply and 12v on the torridial transformer. i also have 12v on the first leg of Q44. and the 3rd leg of Q45.

other than this i cant find < .5v anywhere else and i cant see anything else burnt any ideas?

i have 2 big caps that are 3300uF 35v and when i put my ESR meter on them they start super high around 4 and over ~1 min it drops to .07. is this normal? what does this mean?

also i replaced the transistors in the blue boxes

the A56 at location Q44 is attached to a black strip thing with 8 pins on it that i have never seen before and i dont know what it is. the base (the middle leg) is attached to this thing. i tried to draw lines showing where everything goes to

MPSA06 location Q45

E - 0
B - 0
C - 13v

i just want to make sure that according to my picture that the emitter is on the left the base in the middle and the collector is on the right

im using a 5A 13v PSU and i have the big resistor inline in the power in.

i never manage to measure the power supply or the outputs succsesfully when they are all in place. i never trust my readings. should i start pulling it apart?

they arent getting super hot like i have seen in the past where within a second i have smoke. over about 3 mins they are getting warm. im not sure if there is a difference
 
alright ill try but it looks the same as when i have tried in the past
leg 1-3 i get 60 ohm and all the others i get around 1M ohm this is only on the outputs and i get the same for all of them. im not sure if i can "close them" with the piece of wire and these numbers are so different from testing them individually. i guess i should look for something < 5 ohm?

im using a 5A PSU

and the resistor i dont know the size but i got it according to your website.
