Orion HCCA 2000.4 Problem with channel 1 and 4

This amp suffered multiple problems including failed opamps and channel 4 output TIP35/36 failures. Open base (3.3ohm) and emitter (0.1ohm) resistors. Someone previously bought ST brand TIP35/36 but likely got stuck close to where I'm stuck now. The previous repair removed all the drivers which are TIP41/TIP42, B600/B631 and 1023/1027.

I'm working on Channel 4 now. There is no bottom waveform. I tried swapping out many parts and testing parts and cannot find the solution.

Is there a schematic available for this amp by chance?

Audio signal comes in clean on the base of Q403/Q404/Q405/Q406 but then immediately gets clipped at the emitters. I swapped out FR with 3B. BR Im not sure what that is. I tried 1B transistors but the amp stayed muted.

OMG I just fixed the amp. Posting that photo and I see R467 right in the middle of the photo. Blown open. Also R466. Both are 100 ohm resistors.

Amp is acting better now.

I guess if anyone gets one of these, check the 100 (Marked 101) ohm resistors in the channel if output is badly distorted/clipped.

Both CH1 and CH4 now passing clean signal. Moving on.
