Looks like the old mosfet was using plain old heatsink grease, and came off real easy. No pad or anything.
Anyways, looks like I have to wait another week before I get the proper part, because I read the electrical schematics wrong. I was assuming it was NTE2397 but turns out when I pulled the old mosfet out, it read U1620 which is a NTE equivalent of the 6240 part.
Lesson of the day: NEVER TRUST SCHEMATICS. ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK THE ACTUAL PART BEFORE INSTALLING THE NEW ONE.
Or better yet... never trust your own dumb self for thinking you can read schematics when you don't know a lick of electrical engineering like my mom never knew what I did in my bedroom every night before bed...
Okay, she probably did. Yuck. They BOUGHT me the playboy subscription, what do they actually think I was gonna do? Read the articles?
TMI!
So, off to the electronics store to order the right part. Good news is I finagled the old part back on using the retaining clip and new grease so it made a tight contact, so, ghetto zipties for sound again.

"Anyone know anything about electronics repair?"
if you're repairing/replacing individual components on a board then you're already beyond most of us here or anyplace

Good news is I finagled the old part back on using the retaining clip and new grease so it made a tight contact, so, ghetto zipties for sound again. Has that mosfet been changed before? And are you sure it is a transistor and not a rectifier diode? Edit: There is quite a bit of a difference between a IRF740 and a U1620 both in packaging and how it works internally: U1620 http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/698789/THINKISEMI/U1620G.html This is a 200V device compared with the others that are 400V devices IRF740 http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/22400/STMICROELECTRONICS/IRF740.htmlNTE2397 http://pdf1.alldatasheet.com/datasheet-pdf/view/10009/NTE/NTE2397.html

I've done quite a bit of repair on old boards, and some speaker repair on old AR-3 speaker. There is only 1 guy in the entire world that can repair the spiders on an AR-3 sub-woofer, he's located in NY, and I sent my woofers there a while ago. Very impressed. It's a dying world, and few people have real knowledge on this stuff any more. But I digress.. Instead of wacking out here, there is only ONE place on the internet where the guys are extremely cool and will walk you through any repair on anything vintage stereo/speaker stuff. They will even send you the items you may need at your shipping cost: http://www.classicspeakerpages.net/IP.Board/Go there and sign up. Post your issue and I guarantee more than 1 person will be 100% knowledgeable and offer their help.
