And it has double the amount of LM318 opamps for the conversion of the DOC chips DAC output (+sig and -sig), and double the LM318s for the volume feedback circuit from and to the DOC IC.

I do, somewhere.  I'll have a rake about tomorrow morning.

DOC chips rarely fail.  Have you swapped out the 4051?  That's a very likely failure.
