Another suspicious: IC601 (+B reg/audio), C527 and/or FBT. Or symply a bad cap in the line...
Ditto
Most HOT's have a built in resistor E-B and damper diode E-C.
When they go they dead short E-C 99% of the time.

Look behind the HOT for a small disc cap, they often crack & burn.
IIRC its a 2200 pf 2KV. ?? Common on others too.
The reg / audio amp IC also likes to get cold joints on it.
