Thanks - didn't find one of those on my search.
Starting from the info on the second one, found the LOP transistor fooked
- a BU 508 - and replaced it. It then came out of standby to the
accompaniment of sounds of arcing, smoke and smells. But not sure exactly
where from as I powered down immediately. But guess it needs expensive
replacements so probably scrap. Sad as it's the Matchline version in a
decent looking box.
