Can't tell if it has actually gone bang, or is just covered in crud and a very badly installed capacitor.

If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down.

I'm more annoyed that the wrong capacitor was bodged in on stilts when the correct capacitors are available.

The other bodge is that there are 3 different output transistors in a row. Another half-arsed repair that has to be dealt before the current fault is traced.

"The other bodge is that there are 3 different output transistors in a row"
 
Might be OK as they are all PNP, they are usually like peas in a pod. NPN's however vary all over the map as far as gain goes.
 
I buy in trays of 100pcs and write the gain on each with a sharpie, it's a waste of time with the PNP's. It's very needed with the NPN's.

Crown also match by Vbe as well as gain. In the UK that would be just under 2 grand for a tray of 100 transistors or $2700

Nice work it you can get it

Been to another dealer twice who couldn't find the fault.
