Jerry, I had exactly the same problem. The culprit is probably the small choke RFC15 under U4. When you bend the leads to take up that odd form between the pins, it's very easy to break the internal connection, and the effect is just as you describe. If you haven't got the correct value handy, try any small fixed choke just for testing.
