I might have been a little careless and killed my bipolar placid, at least it's not working. When powering it up, usually, all lights except D6 lights up. And output voltages will be 22-23v (15v transf.) I can't seem to adjust voltages either. One or two times I managed to get D6 lighting up when startup, but gradually faded to nothing. When troubleshooting, the first thing I noticed was wrong, was R13 had a bad joint (started to cook when on for a while). Then I noticed VR4 was bad, changed that one too. This is the most significant things I've done/discovered.
Any suggestions most welcome.

Check to be sure you have not reversed the two large transistors QN1&3 / QP1&3

GOD D*** #@&£$¤"#&%
I've used OPA277 instead of 227!! Now, how the **** am I going to desolder those. Any tips on that please?
Do you gurus think there are other complications as a consequence?

While the OPA277 is far from ideal for this cct, it should cause no harm.'
My guess is that a short somewhere probably killed one or more transistors.
