Update! Besides the audio amp IC (IC1401) being blown again and replacing it along with D1409, D1410, D1411, and C1407, I have found the following defective components in the power supply and replaced them:
Q603 Q604 VDR602 R623 After replacing these and every electrolytic on the "G" (power supply) board, when plugging in the set the relay starts to chatter repeatedly and Q603 and Q604 get very hot immediately and shortly thereafter short again (even with connector G5 disconneted for audio amp B+). this time however, R623 remains normal. I can't seem to locate why and I am spending far too much time on this set and the customer is very anxious to get it back. I had previously replaced C662 and C668 but as I indicated, all electrolytics have been replaced (again for some of them). Anyone have some sugestions?
