Some guys have all the luck. This YouTuber documents a thrift-shop find which is drool-worthy. This unit's survival is undoubtedly due solely to the bomb-proof design and build of the early ST-70. Hopefully, he eventually did the right thing - a Latino board. Watch 'em and weep.

It is unclear from the evidence, but one supposes that due to the non-working right channel (the 7199 on the board is not lit up, but those original EL-34s are bright) that this guy may have run this amp with no load on the right channel extensively. And, once fixed, there was no damage. What an amp.
