Default Re: HMV Stereomaster 2419 left channel output help

You should follow the circuit diagram. If the transistors are damaged then this will confuse the tester.

The two C1129s are essentially being used as two silicon diodes in series to set the bias conditions, which would be a more normal way of doing things.

As described earlier, it is normal practice for most or all of the transistors to go bang in these designs when a fault develops or is introduced.
