NAD3020 Vintage Amplifier Re-Repair (after I blew it up...)

I'm revisiting the NAD 3020 Series 20 Amplifier (late 70s vintage) that I worked on a while back. Unfortunately, I managed to completely short out the power transistors so there's some troubleshooting and repairing to be done in this video.
