I agree with Roy. In my 40 years of working on music organs, synths, amps,
etc. I find it very common for op amps to fail. I do always check the
coupling caps with an ESR checker and check the voltage regulators and zener
diodes, and I find very few resistor failures, but op amps are common.

In my 25+ years on working in engineering and test I've seen VERY VERY few
op amps ever go bad.
Caps crap out far more and power resistors and 3 terminal regulators
