The thing is, I don't know what you have. This could be the first amp you attempted to repair or you may have worked on amps for many years.
First repair of an amp.
Not that I'm new to it but new to finding the failed component on a circuit board.

You couldn't have picked a worse amp to start with.
Do you have ribbon cable and an 8-pin IC socket?

Lol. Story of my life.
I don’t have the ribbon cable nor plugs. I think I may have an old machine I can salvage from. Or maybe it’s just beyond what I can do with the limited tools at hand.

You can't expect to repair an amp without spending money. You'll have to decide what you're willing to risk in the attempt.
Understand that it may not be possible for me to get you through the repair so anything you spend may be lost.
If it has no value for you, sell it on ebay as parts/repair.

#27 made it sound like you were only willing to use what you had on hand.
Do you have an electronics distributor nearby? At the VERY least, you'd need ribbon cable and something like an 8-pin socket to bring the terminals of the driver IC out from under the preamp board.
