   If there is a loud screech at the output, then there is something which
is going into oscillation.  Disconnect the input stage from the finals.  
If it continues to screech, then the finals are going into oscillation,
otherwise it's probably the input stage.  Check all components that are
in the negative feedback loops... you'll probably find something open there.
