General Questions / Re: Troubleshooting vintage Phase 90

From the Seller:
You do have the ICs oriented correctly?  ICs 2 3 4 and 5 are facing opposite direction from IC 1 and 6.  Let me know. 
I think you may be off in following the audio path.  The audio splits after IC1 and goes with a clean sound to R27 and the other split goes to C2 and R7 to go thru the 4 stage phasing process.( thru ICs 2, 3 4 and 5),  you should hear the phasing warble getting more intense on Pins 2 and output pin 6 of those ICs.  Then the clean and warbled sounds are mixed in the pnp transistor stage just before output.

You won't hear any sound anywhere on the FET Pins as they are there for the sole purpose to fluctuate the current going into the phasing ICs at whatever rate the LFO is set to be (LFO being the circuitry around IC6 and controlled by pot R21).    SO...if you are not getting any sound on the left side, not even to pin 2 of IC2, you would need to find out what's happening to the sound between pin 6 of IC 1 and pin 2 of IC2

So the seller said the 2 holes in the board are to be left open. Nothing gets soldered to them.

All IC chip solder joints have been soldered. There are 2 large unsoldered holes in the board I am asking the seller about.

I see these 2 spots not soldered, I will ask the site  I bought it from & get back to you.
(It's actually these 2 spots, the lower left one in your pic is soldered.)
Thanks.

The open solder joint is for the jumper to use as a script model. Attached are the voltage readings and a copy of the board labels.

An update, Jimilee, after I first finished the build it did work, but only in the on position, I got a new push-button from the supplier of the kit for free because he said I was probably too heavy with the heat & melted it. After installing the new switch was when I got the results I originally posted above.  I have cleaned & resoldered all the joints, but still have the same results as above. I am now doing the voltage readings & will post them soon.

Thanks, Jimilee & Govmnt_Lacky.
I will clean the rear of the board, re-tin the joints & then do the readings, Greatly appreciated! I'll get back to you later.

As far as voltages, I am new to DIY builds so  I need a description of how to do voltages. EX: Do I ground to box & with unit in the on position, touch each component on the board to get the DC voltage reading? Thank you for your assistance.

I have a diy phaser 90 build that only sounds in the off position?
I used the Audio probe & I get a phased signal from the left side of the board, nothing passes by the green line.. R3, 4, 5, 6, & Q1, 2, 3, &4.
See the pic attached.
Any ideas?
