DC leak on Sony TA-E1000ESD pre-amp

[K-amps]

My Sony pre-amp 1000ESD is leaking about 2.12vdc on one channel. Works fine with cap coupled power amps but pops when I switch any function.

Before I go in a poke around, Anyone have a schematic or ideas what could be causing this?

thanks in advance!

Hello,

found that it was the switch transistor at the end stage Q804!

replaced with an 2SC2878 works fine now ...

Great..

Now a picture of where that bloomin switch transistor is would really help.... My 1000ESD is still on the bench.

You don't need a picture. It's a muting transistor directly across the output.
