Got a nice JVC A-S7 amplifier. But one of the STK0055n final ICs died. A

Has anyone come up with a board that discreet components can be used on,
and will fit the original IC holes on the board?

OR

Is there a complete amp final available that can be mounted inside the
amp and just wired in to replace the ICs.

This amp is rated at 50W per channel.

This company in Ireland has them at $65 U.S. each:

For that kind of change, I would think they would be Sanken new old stock and not knockoffs of some kind. I changed tons of those during the day (mostly Fisher 0080 and 0100), but even 20 years ago they were obsolete by my memory.

Alibaba lists the STK0055N for about $12 shipped:

The one review said it worked...


That Alibaba one sure looks authentic! Well, maybe not so authentic...
Like a poor copy of a copy...

Ali Baba and the 40 thieves is the full name of the original book if I
am not mistaken...and an interesting name choice for a company!
