Hello everyone! I got this from a friend of mine, It doesn't works. I opened it I founded there were three burned resistors. So, I replaced them, but when I turned on the amp, they broke again. I found the schematics on the web and I started studying it and testing some components.
I uploaded the scheme with marked the problem that I've.
In red R531, R537, R539 the three resistors that I found burned. I tested the outputs from the main power unit (circled in green), they should be +/- 66.4 V, mine are +/- 72.3.
Now... I don't know where the problem is. Probably the toroidal trans? or the four capacitors? I'm not so expert.
Can somebody help me?

Nothing wrong with the toroid. Repair the amplifier; check or leaky transistors.
Check the driver transistors that are connected to the bvurnt up safety resistors. When you have found the fault, replace the safety resistors with exactly the same type and value, for safety.

I replaced TR511, TR509, TR513 and TR517, nothing changed. Could be something between the three resistors? And I forgot to say that even on the other amplifier I found burned the same exact resistors.

you can check if inside on the board the resistore from R549 to R556 are 47 ohm or 470 ohm... There is a mistake
Please be aware that NB on the resistor description means Flame Retardant or Non Burnable. They will not catch fire when something goes wrong. Always replace like for like for your own safety!
