The pan readings sound correct. Is the amp humming? If not then, leave the caps alone.

What is rusted on the resistor?

What you need to do with the amp turned on, is to measure dc voltages in the amp circuits. If you don't feel comfortable doing that then you could just try replacing the 5558 chip. It may or may not cure the problem.

If you want to try and measure the voltages, just be certain to stay away from the ac circuits. The dc voltages are low enough that you won't hurt yourself, but you can do damage to the amp if you are not carfeful.
