"If your meter has a diode test function test all of the diodes and see what voltage readings you get when you test them. The meter will read the voltage at which the diodes conduct. You can use these voltages to select the right mix of diodes to get the bias right."
CR701 .5v,
CR702 .0000 both ways
CR703 .49v
I guess the open reading on CR702 may explain it?

"I know that the board had been messed with previously, did you get it all back to normal?"
Yes, I clean off all extra resistors and caps and replaced the four .82 ohm block resistors with proper value 1 ohm as well as the one 82k resistor as per the schematics. There no sign visually of burned resistors

"Have you checked the other voltages on the board?"
Havent measured the boards other voltages yet but will do that tonight carefully

"Any signs of burned resistors or wrong value components?"
No signs of burned resistors or leaky E caps and they test correctly with my ESR meter. I went through all the values of other components compared to schematics and all is as it should be.
