Replaced the r314 and R337 4.7k with 1 watts. Replaced the c321/322 since they were humped and replaced the a970 transistor.

Bringing up the volts on the variac, the variac reset pops at 70v so there is still an issue.

When I had the rest apart I pulled the rectifier and it tests good. When I pll the red lines for the transformer, the amp powers on happy, fan blowing and all "seems" good. Red lines off the transformer measure 106v at 113v ont he variac. Pulled the power lines for the output board to try and narrow down the area, but the variac still pops so the issue is on the main board.

During the test up to 70v, I did not see DC on the outputs.
