Thank you for your reply …not insulted I meant ohms I think …I would say I’ve built simpler mods successfully in the past but I definitely try to attempt projects I shouldn’t and this turned out to be one of them and it seems the the more probing and testing I do the more lost I’ve become.
I’m finding continuity at a couple of spots where there shouldn’t (at the LED and the S2 dip switch) be and no continuity on pin 2 of Q1 at this point I’m afraid I might have reached the point of no return.
