Help debug a Green Ringer

[carrejans]

Made this a year ago; not in a box, and it worked.
Now I put it into a box, and doesn't work at all.


1.Doesn't produce anything

2.Green Ringer

3.used the pcb from Tonepad: http://www.tonepad.com/project.asp?id=46

4.No mods

5.no parts substitutions

7.Some measurements

Q1 (2N5088)
C = 8.5V
B = 1.7V
E = 1.37V

Q2 (2N3906)
C= 0V
B= 8.55V
E= 8.93V

Q3 (2N5088)
C= 9.05V
B= 4.0V
E= 3.65V


It seems there's something wrong with the Q2. I replaced it with a new one; but didn't make any difference.

Hope you guys can help me out...
Thanks.

Reverse the input and output?

Q1 is not making sense. Q1 Collector should be nearer 6V than 8.5V.

Re-check the 6K2 (Blue-Red-Red-Gold) and 18K (Brown-Gray-Orange-Gold) parts. Mixing-up Red and Orange is easy, and a 1-point-8-K at "18K" (or 62K at "6K2") would match your readings.

Lift Q2 Base and see if Q1 Collector voltage changes.

Thank you guys!!

PRR, you made my day. You were correct. I used a 62k resistor in stead of a 6.2k!!

(so it probably never worked at all; I thought it worked when I made it about a year ago  )
