I checked over all of the values around Q3/Q4 and they were all correct.  I'm now working over the boards to find any traces that have found a way to connect after soldering.  I have found a couple and corrected the issues.  I think I just need to spend some more quality time buzzing out adjacent traces.  I have seen the Collector of Q3 flip a couple times, so I think I just have some hard to find bad connections related to my less than perfect etching of the board.  I would have waited for the prefab boards had I known they were in the works.  Oh well.

I have to go back to work tomorrow, so progress on this will now slow to a crawl. 

Thanks to everyone for your help in getting me this far!

It's a big board, lots of traces in it. If you get it to work, it's a big accomplishment.

At the time you etched yours, I don't think they were in the works yet. But I know what you mean. You know, you're only the second person to attempt a clone, and the first with that layout.
