Okay, there is something wrong with your circuit. I mean you may have put in the wrong resistor off the collector or emitter of one of the transistors. Mine does oscillate when the Intensisty knob is past 75%. Check and double check all of your resistor values, matter of fact check everything if you already haven't, including wiring and the transformer(did your transformer have the primary or secondary marked?). There could be something wrong and be so obvious. When I built my clone, I was debugging for 4 hours until I realized I had the output jack wires reversed. In the mean time, I'll poke around the circuit to see what effects the gain.  
 
And if you have any other high gain transitors, try those in the circuit. You might have gotten a dummy transitor.  
 
We'll figure this out. Oh, too bad about your computer. I hate 'em, haha.
