    Technics SU-X102 amp repair, asking for guidance

    My sincere apologies for the warcrime of a soldering job this is. The rest of my solders are way better but i did what i could with the broken traces edit: the flashlight makes it look way worse than it actually is

    Technics SU-X102 amp repair, asking for guidance

    Okay so extra problem, while desoldering the two burnt transistors, 2 traces of the first one broke off will have to fix that with wires
