I assumed that U801 was being driven by the 3525 but that's not entirely correct. There is a connection between them but the 3525 doesn't need to operate for U801 to function. It appears to be a 3-inverter oscillator.

With pin 1 of U800 grounded (you can ground it if it's high), U801 should oscillate. I pulled Q835 out of the amp here to see there would be oscillation with that transistor out of the circuit and there is oscillation but the duty cycle is about 90%. You'll have to adjust the trigger level on the scope to get a locked trace.

If you don't get oscillation with U800 pin 1 grounded and with ~12v on pin 14 of the 74HC02, I'd suggest replacing the 74HC02.
