She sings! (on one channel).
Problems fixed.
Two burnt resistors.
Old capacitors reformed.
Remaining:
Some kind of short to ground on the right channel.

So after burning several resistors I have done what I should have done first and built myself a dim bulb tester. The idea is it limits the voltage going in to hopefully give the old capacitors the opportunity to reform.

What's been nice about this project is I have been to some amazing places with great people. I went here for some fuses. They just gave them to me.

Had bit of stupid moment. I though these were jack inputs because i thought the outer brown was bakerlight insulator. Its just rust and these are phono inputs.

So the valve that was not lighting up had a broken socket. I have jerry rigged it with some solder wick. Lets see.

After the disapointment of Zen's Waltons Music mall was exctly what I was after. Shop filled floor to ceiling with all kinds of kit some very exotic. The guy was delighted when I walked in with my rogers. In fact he had one too. He is still emailing advice now.

So i was delighted to find hifi repai shopw that looked like this in my neigbourhood. First, zens was not very helpful. Next stop Waltons.

The prusa mk4s was a pleasure to build. Fairly complicated, took a couple of days. Fantastic instructions. Flawless prints to start with. Products was severely let down by the supplied faulty usb stick. Took hours to trouble shoot as I was not expecting this was the problem. @josefprusa.bsky.social

First conundrum solved. There was an obviously fried cap and resistor. Could not figure it out on the circuit diagram. Turns out there are at least three version of the amp. 67 version, post 67 version and integrated version. It was a bit of work finding the schematic for my amp.
