I am building the clock and when I connect to power I get a beep.
However, when I check the boost converter I get v low voltage.
I checked all of the components and believe that they are correct so I was
checking the soldering.
When I tried to remove IC1 I broke off one of the pins and now need a new
one.
Can I purchase a new chip?

We don't have these for sale separately, but if you contact [email protected] with a link to this thread, we can send you a replacement.
If you post photos of the front& back of the boards we'll double check them for you.

First, you need to clip all those component leads close to the board. Then I see you have a lot of joints that are not completely soldered. I have circled some below. There may be more that are not visible in the photo.
