SantaClaw:


Right, time to get to work.

Cleaned it a bit
SantaClaw:
No connectivity between any pins on Q317 and Q319 other than a short blip. I made sure I had good connections

D301 .636v  - Right Channel: D302 .637v
D303 .640v  - Right Channel: D304 .637v
D305 .637v  - Right Channel: D306 .638v
D307 .640v  - Right Channel: D308 .639v

D309 .631v
D311 .634v
D312 .537v
D313 .638v
D317 .658v
D319 .661v
D321 .594v
D323 .535v
D325 .669v

So the diodes I could find, looks good ?

The small transistors:
C4793:
1 Q333 B=143 Vf = 614mV
2 Q329 B=143 Vf = 614mV
3 Q321 B=173 Vf = 605mV

A1837:
1 Q331 B=160 Vf = 603mV
2 Q335 B=188 Vf = 571mV

So far no fault,  I suppose starting to check resistors is next ?
SantaClaw:
Any suggestions ?

Not sure what this means?  What does "no connectivity" mean? 
Tested how?  Out of circuit?
With what? POS tester? with a DMM? with a curve-tracer?
What does "short blip" mean?

I would say that "no connectivity" and "short blip" seem to indicate that Q317 and Q319 are blown.
Unless we are misunderstanding your testing methods and results?

What do you find when the corresponding transistors (Q316, Q318) in the other (good) channel measure by the same method?
Out of circuit in all cases.
SantaClaw:
I put my DMM meter in diode check mode, and it briefly beeped when I measured between the legs.

So I need to de-solder q317 and q319 ?
