Snowy,

I’d take a real, and I mean real, close look at the pcb and the connections to and from the transformers. Ditto the same thing around the transistors. Its possible you have a broken copper trace someplace. 

Unless they are physically smashed, those transformers  don’t go bad. I have heard of some toroids going out of specifications but even then, you would see reasonable power

And I recall the finals were kind of a weird bunch. The tab was the emitter, and it was grounded. Make sure that is so. The collector leads should have supply voltage on them and of course emitters should be at ground. 

You should be able to adjust the bias to the point the PA transistor draw a lot of current, say several amps.
