Potentially solder points on that small PC board.flyfisher55 said:

Do present resistance values have any relevance on parts being damaged? Are we we 100% sure the board it self is not the culprit? I'm willing to desolder every component and start from scratch. I'm very interested in finishing this project but I'd like to do it without returning it for someone else to fix.
The problem with simply saying "the board itself" is that it could just be a flaky solder joint on that board that's causing all that trouble. We have never had a problem that turned out to be a production issue with a PC board, and dead transistors will cause a short that presents high voltage at the output. You have no voltage at the output. One cause for this would be a short to ground in the amp itself, which we have narrowed down to not being possible because the stock amplifier is working properly. The other possibility is that a connection is not adequately soldered on the board, causing a complete lack of voltage on the output (and none of the associated heat of having a short).

That being the case, do my latest resistance readings reveal anything and should I replace any parts which may be causing the problem?
You could request a replacement small Speedball board from the replacement parts e-mail.
