Glory hole issue

[Jakester]

I finished the build except for the LED, and it worked and sounded great. Put in the led—no sound! Everything was getting voltage except for the A100 pot. Is this expected? Unrelated to the loss of sound?

You shouldn’t have DC voltage at the volume pot. The series capacitor before it blocks the DC voltage. Try flipping your LED. Also, you may have a short somewhere.

It is customary to post detailed pix of your build so we can get a better idea of what might be wrong. Check the other posts on this forum for examples.

I'm sure you're not the first to have an issue with a glory hole.
