1. When measuring DC voltages, please also make an o-scope graph of same voltage so we can see if an AC signal is present (I know this is a lot of work, but hopefully we are getting closer). Especially LM393 pin 7 when LM358 is removed from socket.
2. Another possibility, which I doubt is the cause, is if somehow you got "P" type JFets instead of "N" type JFets, it might make those bad DC voltages you saw.
I'm not sure the best way to test your JFets -- maybe someone else can suggest. However, there should be a diode junction between the Gate and either the Source or Drain -- so maybe you can test that with a diode checker to see if correct type of JFet and if the pins make sense.
I just checked my J107 JFets with my multimeter diode checker.
With plus probe on Gate and neg probe on Drain or Source, I get approx .9V on diode checker. If I reverse probe polarity, no voltage (open circuit). If I check from Source to Drain, I get small voltage and beep (short circuit), either polarity.
