Hello, I recently got into a Sansui R-50 Receiver, and the left channel was dead. In there I found 2 shorted transistors together with an open ceramic resistor and a literally burnt carbon resistor.
I'd like to know what caused what to fail. Did the ceramic resistor fail and thus cause a short in the transistors? Or is it the other way around?
Also, should I check for failure in other parts so that it doesn't happen again after fixing it?
