Voltages on IC2 are incorrect. No -5v produced , so I assume no drive from oscillator to T1 and T2.
Supply voltages to IC3 apperar OK.

Please check the voltages A…F.
The voltages should be:
A = 1.67 V
B = 0.44 V
C = 4.40 V
D = 3.09 V
E = -2.61 V
F = -5.22 V
If voltage ‘A’ is about 1.6V, the drive from oscillator can be OK.
Thanks for the helpful diagrams : I will send the voltages soon Ragnar
My readings are:-
A 1.64
B 0.51
C 3.39
D 4.93
E 0.35 positive
F 0.69 positive
Does this help to locatise the fault ?
Thanks for your assistance Ragnar
The voltage C = 3.39V seems strange.
Please check the voltage on the base pin (middle pin) of T3.
There should be same voltage as C.
Check also the transistor types are correct:
T1: BC337
T3: BC327
Check all soldering joints of the transistors and components around them.
I’m sorry, the voltage on gave on C was a typo : it should have been 4.49. I have now remeasured all the leads of the two transistors ( they are in the correct positions ) they are :-
T3 e 4.98 b 4.43 c 4.98 I identify the collector as the left pin on the diagram you sent me.
T1 e 0.31 b 0.51 c 4.98 I identify the collector as the left pin on the diagram you sent me.
I have examined the soldering. I will try re-soldering the transistor connections.

Re-soldered the connections and tried to calibrate it. Success !!
Thanks for all the help . I will now have to see how to use it : it did get a small record from my finger on the live input.
Ragnar
No problem!
Glad to hear the issue is resolved.
