Default One channel on stereo amp blows filter cap on negative rail

if the -22 supply has failed, due to a blown diode or fuse, and if the
output transistors have shorted, then the -22 rail will be pulled
positive and that will blow the capacitor.

Also note that the schematic has errors on it, for instance the output
transistors have emitter and collectors reversed!

Hope you didnt wire the new ones in like the schematic!!
