It makes no difference to me whether it is a amp or reciever or a transistor am portable...SS is SS, and I barely care about it.

Compare datasheets between what what you have and what you think might work.
Not everything is going to be handed to anyone trying to repair vintage gear. Sometimes you gotta do the research to fix something....may as well get good at research... Folks who know are dying off. And sometimes even if there is someone who will hand you the answer if you know how to pull it from documents you find it faster yourself.

It ain't my problem if your not motivated enough to follow up on some potentially helpful advice...
Some categories of things you probably should not buy broken in the first place if you are not interested in putting in some effort to fix...I walk away from stuff for that reason regularly.
