Two failed finals and a blown AM Reg? You might have gotten an indirect strike. But if that is the case, if you replace the tip36c and something else fails shortly after that; then it was an indirect strike.

I've only had the opportunity to work on a radio that had an indirect lightning strike, and had to fix more than a few things on it.

The tip36c is a cheap and plentiful part; but don't buy a poor quality one, since it will be running pretty hard when in AM.
