Univibe build debugging

[mitiliray]

Hello!
i am a new member i just finished my 3rd NON working neovibe..!! 

this time i bought ggg pcb.(previous times i made my own pcb)
then followed the parts as stated in mr. RG's pdf.
Carefully i soldered all components.
Almost religiusly i tested every resistor and transistor before placement
Same with the wiring...
my joints are very good,no cold joints or anything.
i used 2n5210BU transistors and 2n3904 as driver and a 18Vac 500ma wall transformer
after 3 builds i thought this time i will succeed!!

i plugged it aaaannnndddddd 



nope...
lamp is not flashing and my voltages seems weird compared to other measurements i read here in forum...
my lamp driver is not hot at all
of course not sound at all...

Q12
C =13.0
B =13.2
E =24.6

Q13(lamp driver)
C=3.32
B=3.86
E=20.3


what could i have done wrong....again???
Any help  would be extremely appreciated!

There are several things we could look into, but first and foremost, is the naming of C and E reversed in your list of voltages, or are they reversed on the actual board?

In an NPN, the C must always be higher than either the B or E for it to work as a linear amplifier.

(N.B. for others than the original poster; yes, I know about reversed operation, but that's not an issue here and he shouldn't be worrying about it yet.)

[R.G.]

Over the years, people have noticed that it is sometimes hard to get good voltage readings from the bases of the transistors in the Neovibe/Univibe because some meters load down the bases they're measuring.

Can you possibly remeasure the voltage between the base and emitter on the transistors?
