Its hard to imagine how the output node (where the two
3.3 ohm resistors join) could be correct (6.4V) without
the path through the lower 3.3 ohm resistor and Q208?

But at least you got it working. Good for you. Trouble-
shooting  ("fault-finding" as they call it in the UK) discrete
circuits is rapidly becoming a lost art.
