If the board was so far gone as to char the mask or burn the traces, in the rubbish bin it went. Awesome repair; I see so few with this kind of skill level any more. Subscribed!😁

Professional power amps can easily cost over 1000€ also as someone else mentioned if you have a stack of those you cannot just swap one with someone "similar". The amp was set in "parallel" so my guess is that they have at least a second identical amp which means that if they don't fix it they have to buy at least 2 new amps. Most of the time they replace all amps at the same time in a setup which would easily cost them a few thousand.

BACK IN THE DAY (1986) I repaired an old-school CS800 (which I still own and should probably not power on without checking all the capacitors). Between an electrical engineer at work and actually speaking to techs at Peavy in Meridian Mississippi to determine parts I could substitute in the 1st stage driver board - got it going again after replacing several big-ass output transistors. Built like a truck, really. All those big transistors mounted on huge heat sinks - and a chassis which was designed for the fan air to blow up to the top of the case, along the sink fins and out slots in the top sides of the case cover.

Back in 85', did you have to do thousand word essays on "equality in the workplace" and "change management"? I started a program a few years back that had us spending 80% of our time learning to be what THEY think a good manager is, rather than about electronics. Only a single 1 hour session a week in the lab, and the guy teaching clearly knew less about electronics than I already did, so I bailed. I'd do anything to go back 20 or 30 years and do a proper craft apprenticeship like my dad did.

Good diagnostics,all i would ad is use a plastic spreader for the heat sink compound,just so it's evenly spread,you put enough on & it would probably spread out once heat sink is tightened. Have successfully repaired the simple peavey PV2600 ranges on many occasions,some of those blow bit time,loads to replace as well as board burn scraping,, key is not to rush & buy genuine parts,as you say ,ebay has a lot of fake parts,some are derated & almost impossible to test properly,i used a home made transistor matcher that you could load the power output trannies to there max,before they were put back onto the pcb. The thing with power amps is test at full load,with freq gen, for an hour or so,with a resistor/oil load on the output channels ,as this is the only way to make sure all is ok. 4000 watt amps will need some hefty metal clad lod resistors in oil, as lots of heat will be generated. Im retired now, had a great ,enjoyable ,varied 45 year + career as an electronics engineer.. Cheers.
