In 1992 Hill Audio went into administration ,new designs were introduced by the buyer of the company .
Looking at the schematic this professional company didn't want anybody ripping off their designs so the output BJT,s aren't marked.
With that amount of power output "guesswork " can cost a lot .

Thanks. I have dx 3000 schematic and material list. I have fixed the other channel.
I was thinking about those transistor Mj15003 (250w, 140V Vce, 20A Ic), but have hi gain (Hfe: 60-150) The H101A of the Dx3000 have the gain around 15-37. Also I was thinking in 2N3773 with similar gain (15-60) but less power (150w) than Mj15003 similar Vce( 140) less Ic (16A). The problem is that I have tested the 20 transistor and seems are correct and all have a similar gain. But there is a high frequency oscilation when powered with charge that make me crazy.

well it been a long time since i've seen a DX3000 let alone worked on one but as i recall (wish i had the schematic in front of me) there's rail protection diodes and if the unit ever had an output failure they can go faulty causing the supply to appear asymmetrical to the output stage that will ring,no?
That wouldn't necessarily cause HF oscillation Turk182 unless different active components were fitted while making no changes to either the compensation or the components around the output or driver stage .
The feedback isn't straight forward and the circuit certainly has a lot of small value local compensation capacitors.
What you should be doing is checking the outputs from the two -IC2/102 TDA2030 chips on an oscilloscope while inputting an audio signal , if okay to there then its through the transformers feeding the output devices bases .

I can't tell you the equivalent but I have ten brand new ones that I am planning on selling on a well know auction site unless someone makes me an offer I can refuse! They are a set of ten in a "Millbank" box complete with heat sink compound. We never used them to repair an amp. We used Hill Audio but I guess Millbank were a distributor.
