Disconnect the dead channels speaker connection at the Amplifier, if the short goes away then you have a shorted speaker voice coil or wiring to speaker, if still blows the fuses you have an output Transistor circuit that is shorted, and the Amplifier will need to go to a qualified home electronics repair shop for testing and repair, be advised the average cost can exceed $100+

What works on one channel? Thanks
Sorry, it is a Goodmans 120 stereo amplifier, and it plays sound through one speaker only. I have no knowledge/expertise in electronics save for establishing that three fuses needed replacing, but having done so the replacement fuses (two 630mA and one 2A slow blow fuses) have blown again. I only wish to know if the amplifier which is ~30 yrs old is worth repairing. Thanks.
