Problems:

  • R107 vaporized completely (51.1 ohm, wattage?)
  • C177 died as a victim of R107’s demise (2.2 uF bipolar 63v mkc 61)
  • vr106 suspect
  • r108, r109 exploded (12.1 ohm 1W)
  • Q101, Q102 of course died too (BUS12 Philips, 400V 125W 8A (DC)/20A (AC), NPN)

That BUS12 will be hard to get, and replacements apparently too - there does not seem to be a lot of use of the TO-3 housing anymore 8-/
