I have one of these amps to repair.the problem is there is a short between the first and the last legs on the output transistors. I removed all output transistors and a few shorted tip42. And I removed the rectifiers. There is a short between the second and third leg.

[Perry Babin]

Do you read less than 1 ohm between legs 1 and 2 of the outputs?

Or are you reading that on the board with the outputs out of the circuit?

[timwebb]

all the output tested good. and that reading was on the board with no transistors in the circuit.

[Perry Babin]

Do you read less than 1 ohm from 1-2 on the board?

If not, what is the resistance that you read?

[timwebb]

tip35- 6.3k
tip36-10k

[Perry Babin]

Sorry, that should have read 1-3 (where you read the 'short').

[timwebb]

21 ohms

[Perry Babin]

That's not a short. If you look at the components, I think you'll find a 22 ohm resistor connected between the traces that go to the base and emitter of the output transistors.

ok i got the amp powered up and idles.when i connect a speaker it draws a ton of current but nothing get warm

[timwebb]

this is what i get on the tabs of the transistors.im getting this one every thing
