In a similar vein. If an amp needs a rare or expensive or unattainable

a strip of matrix board on the new block pins then insulated wires

over one another to the original pad positions.
It is usually possible to work out the DC rails, i/ps,o/p, comp, mute
lines
even if a pinout for the original is not available.

I do miss those Maplin 150 watt mosfet modules, great for resurrecting
old stuff like H-H PA amps and the like. There`s nothing quite like them
now, I must have built over a hundred, and most of them I bet are still
working.

Assuming you put in spring clamps, or such, then cutting off the protruding
tab of the TDA7294 leaves a block only 20x10x4 mm , so 2 easily go in the
space of an STK... etc and those are usually quite a bit less than 2x 100W.
I wonder if they're bridgable, I'll have to dig out the pdf.
