Or alternatively, if the OP already has a replacement output pair on hand perhaps he could try fitting these in the good side and see if they work. Better than risking the original parts if there is a fault present.

I'd also echo the advice to replace all the transistors in the faulty side despite their testing OK. They can and do break down under working conditions where they don't in a tester.
