Well, today doesn't seem to be my day for building modules. After
building over 20 kits, which have all worked right off or second off
(after finding an obvious mistake or some kind assistance guiding me in
the correct direction), I'm completely baffled by 2 that don't work.
Here is one, and I hope someone can suggest some direction.
I have 2 vc dividers. The first I put together worked right off. The
second one refuses to respond. That is, when I start on Ken's trimming
instructions there is no output from HO. I've checked that I'm getting
the correct voltage into the pcb, I switched the 4024 and 40106 from the
working divider to the nonworking divider, I've compared the two to match
up every component (and orientation), and triple-checked soldering
connections - no improvement. Any suggestions? Please keep in mind that
I'm extremely poor at electronics troubleshooting - just using my
multimeter correctly gives me a sense of accomplishment :-).
