ok, went to Frys, got one that I thought said 9V 1A on the tag and soldered it in. Now it shows 8V (7.97) instead of 9V? The NTE number on it is NTE964 (over that it says 022L) Did I get the wrong one?

Also, right next to the crystal, the ztx789a transistor has the gating property only on one side of the base not on both. Is it shot, too? Could it be that this transistor is closer to the 9V regulator than the others (which are all fine)?
