Just working this little amp through. Someone worked on it before, and theres a couple things going on with it that I'm trying to sort through atm. This amp is missing R151 near C67. Both of these pieces tie into the non-bridging speaker terminals.

If the cap and missing resistor are in series and one end of the pair connects to the negative speaker terminal and the other end of the pair connects to the positive speaker terminal, it's a zobel network. The amp will work without it. There should be one for each channel.

If you can't find the fault, post the voltages on the TL494 (or whatever they're using).

The power fets check out on the DVM, but one of them appears to have been replaced and has a crack in it. Both are IRFZ44. I removed the one with a crack in it (Q48) so only Q49 remains. Q48 on the bench confirms it is messed up; but not shrted. Transformer displays a "decent looking" sqaure wave on the scope but only +/- 2.5v.
