Replacement is BD243B.

But this is old. Try to get a recent one tht matches the data.

By the way, u shud replace all the capacitors while u are at it. The power amp and the preamp.

Or u could find a transistor u like
I found the NTE331 and the D44H11 so far

I will eventually do a recap on everything, but I dont wanna spend that much money at one time (btw, im only 14 so i aint got much anyway:)

If Q706 was shorted and the resistors in its emitter and collector circuit damaged, then the emitter of Q901 likely had a very high negative voltage applied to it, which would have stressed it.

Maybe, because I did notice that the speaker cone got pulled in when this happened.

Very high voltage came from where ?

Speaker will pull in or out when ever DC is applied, it does not need to be high voltage.

When ever there is a fault in an amp, DC will be available at the speaker terminals.

Yeah i kno. I just assumed because he stated negative voltage, but it deffinetly wasnt high voltage
