A new neighbor saw me working on a cabinet in my garage and asked if I'd take a look at a game they got at a garage sale. Turns out its a Tempest, so I said I'd look at it.
A visual check of the board showed some cold solder on the inter board pins, which I fixed then plugged it into my working upright to test. The LM324 at K6 on the aux board blew rather spectacularly when I turned it on.
Any ideas what to check would be appreciated. I didn't want to just socket and replace the amp, assuming something else must have caused the failure.
