So, I got a non working Marshal AVT150 from a friend and decided to take it as a project and fix it.
At the beginning the symptoms where that the only thing that worked is the light on the power switch and I could hear the buzz from the transformator.
Since, I read about it in multiple forums and found out that it is common with this amp that the two resistors(223 & 202) to burn and they got used as if they were some sort of a fuse (I tested those with the multimeter and indeed found they need to be replaced).After replacing them - now I can actually hear the fans and I can choose the channels but there is no output on any of them and the volume does not seems to affect a hum sound (the speaker is connected as expected to internal).
I read about the TDA chips that get burned down a lot and that maybe the tube needs to be replaced, but I'm not sure - how can someone test and verify that this is indeed the issue (they seems perfectly fine) nothing seems or smells as if it was burnt all the components on the board seems to be in perfect condition.
Testing the tube with multimeter I noticed that only 2 legs are shorted together which I believe it is what you should expect(I don't have tube tester).
Anything else I should be looking for?
