Pioneer D9601 repair

Looks like some thermal paste, removed it.
Can’t really read from behind, took a picture.

Well I measure whatever you ask e.g. collector pin 3 close to huge capacitors, base pin 2 in the middle.
Q105 pin 3 collector to pin 15 ~2.51 resistance,
Q105 pin 2 base (middle) to pin 15 reads reads nothing.
Q105 pin 3 (collector) to pin 14 reads 2.51k
Q105 pin 2 (base) to pin 14 reads 20.9.
I use this pinout.

What you need to do is to confirm all connections between the IC pins and the driver transistors and confirm that all resistors in that area are within tolerance.

You can't take anything for granted, especially when someone else tried to repair it before you got it.

Reinstall all resistors.

Lift terminals 11 and 14 of the 2092 to break their connection to the board and confirm that you still read low ohms between the same terminals (not the board) as you did previously.
 
Not yet for Q729.

Do the solder connections look original on the output transistors or were they possibly replaced previously?

I'd conform that all gate resistors are within tolerance since it takes only seconds.

Post what you read on the lifted terminals of the 2092 when you get back to it tomorrow. (midnight there?)
