Ice Tube Clock

Post by dneglia »

I have finished building this clock and when I powered it up and everything worked except the time wouldn't advance because I had the orientation of C8 and C9 wrong. I desoldered them and replaced them with two 20pf 1kv ceramic caps in their proper orientation and now the clock doesn't work at all. What is the voltage rating for these cap supposed to be? Also now I'm only getting 4.5vdc and the D3 measuring point(?). There are no cold solder joints that I can see and I inspected them with a jewelers loop,and my soldering ability is in between intermediate and professional.

Please stop posting the same question in multiple forums and stick with the one in clocks.
