Help Needed Older Hk Citation 16

[KOOLRODS]

HEY ALL.....I HAVE A PAIR OF HARMAN KARDON CITATION 16 AMPS
(BOUGHT THEM NEW IN THE 70'S) AND JUST THIS WEEK ONE FAILED ON CHANNEL B.IT WAS IDLING FINE THEN SUDDENLY B CHANNEL WENT OPEN (BLEW THE B CHANNEL FUSE).I RE-FUSED AND AS SOON AS IT POWERS UP IT BLOWS AGAIN.....BIG SHORT SOMEWERE IN THIS CHANNEL...ANY COMMENTS......I HAD THEM SERVICED A FEW YEARS AGO BY A SHOP AND THEY REALLY DID A LOUSY JOB ON A SMALL LAMP REPAIR. THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD GET SOME ADVISE ON THIS ISSUE BEFORE I LOOK TO TAKE SOMEWHERE....I LOVE THESE OLD AMPS AND THEY PUT OUT VERY WELL ON MY SYSTEM.
APPRECIATE ANY COMMENTS
THANKS!

This link has the service manual:

However, unless you know what you're doing, best to refer to a qualified service tech...it could be dangerous to you and the amp otherwise.
