Hi Monkeytree,
You can troubleshoot the circuit by measuring DC voltages at its important places like the collectors and emitters. Since it operates at VHF, measure the voltages with a 100k resistor connected in series with the red lead of a working high input resistance (10M) multimeter.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
