trying hard not to do a second transistor transplant. Not sure the patient would survive
Joel, when replacing the transistors 'next time' if there is one: just cut off the body of the bad transistors, leaving most of their lead-length in place and soldered to the board.? Then lay the new transistor in place, on top of the still-soldered leads, and solder the new transitor to the old leads.? Much easier, in my opinion, that cleaning out those vias.
