Q1-Q4, Q6-Q19, Q21, Q24 = BC550C    (20)

Small Signal Transistors
(All “flat side
to the left” except
on switch card)

R52, R67, R129, R139 = 5k (or 4k7)    (4) - Side adjust style

R62, R78 = 100k    (2) - Side adjust style

NOTE: Q1 and Q2 are pushed all the way down to the PCB.

Do not overheat them when soldering and check for
short circuits between solder joints.
