DIY Class A/B Amp The "Wolverine" build thread

Hey guys,
I needed some help with the build I’m almost done it.
Where must these go I’m very confused. I got the entire component kit.
The build guide says,
Q1&2 - bc559 , (is BC-327 alternative)
Q3,4,12,14 - bc549 (available)(is bc-337 alternative )
Q5&6 - KSA992 (available)
Please refer to the image below (components for pair of boards)
You can use these replacement transistors without problems but for Q1-2 these are not the best choice. I have some spare bc559 from Jaycar in Perth and I can post these to you in an envelope as a letter. If it's OK for you send me a message with your address.
cheers,
 
Any idea if I could substitute any other resistor in place of 9.1K on R107 for initial testing.

I have successfully started my testing on the Wolverine , the board turned on perfectly 4 lights on the IPS turned on the series lamp did not glow at all. No shorts . I measured voltage across TP107 & TP108 it reads 0mV not sure why cause all the other test point readings are perfect. I also tried adjusting the 500R trimpot (R109) but no hope and no change. Let me know what to look for @stuartmp @fireanimal
 
New update!!
Got few 0.5A fuses today I used 0.75A initially, now the -V rails fuse blew imminently the +V rail fuse remains intact. Not sure what to look for at this point. Please guide. I have attached detailed images of the board below

Have a look at these images I haven’t bent them yet as I haven’t ordered the heatsinks for them.
