One mystery solved. There is a bias transistor. Its hidden under one driver heatsink. There are two positions for it on the board. One away from the heatsink. That position I first saw is vacant.
So far a bad pot on one channel is the only thing I have found wrong. I still have to figure why the bias on the other channel is not working.

H720 and H721 are for the bias of a couple stages back. I'll check that out too.

I found a service bulletin from 10/29/1975 that may or may not have an effect on your problem. If your serial number is below US 7701 or Europe 51001, replace diode H720 and diode H721 with a 1S1555. When you say the bias circuitry is not functioning, do you mean there is zero bias current? It is supposed to be 10mv from TP701-TP702 and TP703-TP704.
Good luck.

Wondering if anyone is familiar with this series. I was testing it out and the bias circuitry is not functioning. There is shown on the schematic a bias transistor along with one diode and pot. There is no bias transistor on the two stages, just looks like one diode. I intend on adding a diode or two to get it going.
There is a place on the boards for the transistor, but it was never there.
