Update:
IC1 was okay. I didnt notice he was transmitting for that to measure correctly.
I went through all his other voltage measurements (ones that didnt require a scope) and all is well except for one place.
Where he measures the voltage from the doubler, between D3 and D5. running the same rail voltage of 12.7v he got about 70VDC between the two diodes. I got about 8VDC. Hopefully, that might be a clue to help someone smarter than I toward the next steps.
Meanwhile, I will disassemble and start looking closely at T1 and T2.
