My John Hollis easy vibe has been lying in a drawer for some time. It used to work like a charm, but now it is behaving weird

The vibrato mode is not doing anything - only passes clean signal

When in vibe-mode, the lfo seems to be working, but instead of just vibingor phasing, the volume goes up and down? from completely silent, to full on?

All of the ldrĀ“s are blinking just as they should? Any hints?

We're going to need voltages....the only other thing I could suggest is to 'chopstick' in there a little, see if you have any loose wiring.   That happened to mine, just over time.   

Sounds like you have a start, knowing the LEDs are ramping...so begin with the opamps, see if they are at operating voltage and outputting anything...
