I have assembled this amplifer from a pcb I obtained on the internet. When I power up the R4 risistor gets very hot within 2 seconds. The instructions tell me that if the amp oscillates to change C2 from 220pf to 470pf to keep output transistors from getting hot. Is it reasonable to think that this may be my problem with the resistor which is a 100ohm resistor. I am doing this project just for learning but hate to remove something that is not the problem. In my inexperianced opinion I would suspect another reason. Any suggestions?
