I posted last year about this amp. It's the one that had a #12 wire soldered across the fuse and had several bad transistors and the shorted bias diodes. After I got the parts replaced and the amp working again, I was concerned about the 120mv DC voltage at the output. I'm back working on it now and I have replaced other parts and the DC voltage at the output is now 48mv DC. I'm guesssing that 0vdc would be ideal but dont see that happening unless someone has ideas about what to do nest. I have replaced Q1-Q4, Q701-Q709 and CR701-CR703. All the voltage readings I have been able to take are very close to the schematic values except Q707 collector is at -2.4 vdc and Q703 collector is at +4.6vdc. Any technical expertise would be appreciated.
