Also, the 47 ohm resistor you mention is supposed to be soldered from base to ground, so if yours is soldered from base to collector, there's where the problem lies. With that resistor in its current position, it's feeding the base of the transistor with close to 13V.... and that's really bad. That will destroy the transistor. Before you replace the final, make sure that 47 ohm resistor is soldered from base to ground.
