Hooray for me. I got the scope to light up and now sweep. The trigger sucks but hopefully when I finalize this thing it will get better. A couple more original transistors opened up so I swapped them with some cheapo GPs and they are holding out for now. Parts replaced: 100v zener- ECG 5050, AAY30 germanium diode-NTE 109, Mullard BFW1052- NTE312, Motorola SPS2506- NTE 108(this one opened up during troubleshooting and gp transistor is holding for now), SPS5286/2N1990- NTE128.
