Hmmmm.. I'll need more information.
Off the top of my head: there really isn't much overlap in the parts list between the 808 and 909 (aside from the standard resistors and capacitors). |

Which version of the PCB do you have? (in version 1 the 4 pin connector going to the transformer is horizontal, in version 2 it is vertical).
