What happens if you unplug the auto-transformer completely, set the amp to 4 ohms. Still no sound?
There should be a yellow and a blue wire from the main board over to the output jack board. That is the main output. Follow the yellow wire back, I think it should go to the main board, then from there back to a thermal breaker on the heatsink. Check that thermal breaker, it should measure continuity between its terminals. It opens when it gets real hot. If it is stuck open, you get no sound.
Can you get clip wires on those yellow and blue wires? APply a test signal to the power amp, doesn;t need a lot, just enough to hear when it works. Now clip some speaker on your bench to the yellow and blue wires where they come off the main board. Got sound?
Right next to where those wires connect are two power resistors - 0.33 ohm 5w. Make sure they are not open. They should check like a short.
For testing, you can connect one side of a test speaker to ground, and with a clip wire on the remaining speaker terminal, probe the yellow wire, then either end of the thermal breaker, then back to J12 from the second terminal of the thermal.
