    So, after new ICs (339, 4013, 471) and new eletrolytic, the mistress sounds great !!!
    My only concern is in non sweep mode, i get a bad oscillation sound when range goes to about 80% and no effect at all after 80%. From 0% to 80% it sounds ok…
    In sweep mode, all range pot range is good.

    I performed the alignement procedure.

    Is it normal ?

    here’s what i have at pin 11 of the 4013:
    https://ibb.co/PxXygQN
    pin 13 is roughly the same inverted, pin 9 and 10 are flat. will buy a new 4013 tomorow (with a 339 too!)

    why is there 2 parraleled 2.2uf and 50n caps across pin 4 and 2 of the 339 ?

    also, my unit does not have any 100uF at V+ near the SAD1024. Does it need it ? Why a 100uF here ? it’s parralelled with the 33uF at the collector of BC309 ?

    small progress here…
    i changed the LM471 and now i have a V+ !!!

    But still no or bad sound
    so i began the troubleshooting procedure : http://www.metzgerralf.de/elekt/stomp/mistress/repair.shtml

    Turn on power supply and check for 18.0 V at pin 7 LM741
    -> ok

    Check for 12 V (12.0 – 13.5 V) at pin 8 4885, pin 14 4013, pin 3 LM339
    -> ok

    Check for a low frequency (~0.05 – 20 Hz) sweep about 0.5 to 9 V at pin 2 LM339 – frequency controllable by RATE pot
    -> it’s stange here : i have about 9V and once every 10sec it drops to about 3v for a glimpse and then goes back to 9V. is it what is expected ??

    Check with oscilloscope for clock output at pin 1 of LM339 (~40 kHz to 400 kHz)
    -> i do have something that looks like a clock (9V that goes to 0v at a Khz frequency)

    Switch to FILTER MATIX mode. Clock frequency must be controlled by RANGE
    Check with oscilloscope for square wave output at pins 9, 12 and 13 of 4013 (~20 kHz to 200 kHz)

    -> it’s totaly flat at thoose pins :(

    strange things on my unit : pin 4 of the 4013 goes straight to pin 2 of the LM339 ?

    I had 2 red tantalums between 2 and 4 of the LM339, one 1uF, the other no reading ? changed for what i had on hand (parralel 2.2uF and 50n)

    thanks,
    i cant find any 2N4353
    can it be replaced by any modern transistor ?
    i have some 2n2905a

    the 33uF is here, it was on the other side of the pcb :)
    there’s no zener, but a transistor instead : 2N3563
    here’s a picture :

    https://ibb.co/xh2pVDD

    about 741 voltages :

    pin 1 : fluctuating 1 to 2 v
    pin 2 : 6,84V
    pin 3 : 0,439V
    pin 4 : 0V
    pin 5 : fluctuating 0.7V / 1.5V
    pin 6 : 13.6V
    pin 7 : 14.7V
    pin 8 : 0V
