I have reached the point of testing the clock and although all 5 led's do light, they're significantly dimmer than they should be. The IR sensor does work but the LED output is off. This is both before and after the crystal mod. Any ideas?
I might suggest checking the polarity of all diodes.
I just got to the same point you did and ran the sets. It was pulling about 20ma and the blue leds flickered fast about half bright and the beep worked. I think you did it right.

Great and thanks for the response. I'm settling in tonight to try and finish.
