Turn the PCB around now. Insert the white

orientation

longer lead goes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

   

 

 

 

 

to the plus (+) hole

. Solder it almost down to the PCB. 

 

 

 
Finally, move on to the funniest part -

potentiometers

. There are (surprisingly!) SIXTY of them. Pots

 

 

   

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

take a little care and patience to install correctly. Push the pots on the place and look closely to see if

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

   

   

they are in straight. Solder just ONE leg on each pot. Do the check. Solder another leg. Do the

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

double check. Once they look perfectly in a row you can finish the soldering.
