Main PCB assembly
1.
Solder all resistors
2.
Solder the IC socket
3.
Solder both transistors
–
watch the polarity!
4.
Solder the box power header. Make sure the notch lines up with the screenprint
legend. If in doubt, have a look at a power cable, and make sure when inserted into
the header the red stripe lines up with the -12V screenprint.
5.
Solder all electrolytic capacitors
6.
Solder both trimmers
7.
Cut male headers to size and solder them into place. Make sure that they stick out of
the bottom of the PCB.
Pots ‘n’ sockets PCB
1.
Solder both
pots, making sure to seat them correctly. Don’t forget to also solder the
mounting tabs.
2.
Place all sockets on the PCB,
making sure the ground tabs line up with the PCB’s
ground pads, then place the panel over them. This will assure that the sockets are
correctly positioned. Flip the whole lot over and solder the sockets into place.
3.
Use cut off resistor legs to connect the sockets’ ground tabs line up with the PCB’s
ground pads.
4.
Cut female headers to size and solder them into place. Make sure that they stick out
of the bottom of the PCB.
Note: Not all sockets and switches are equal in height. Providing you use the ones in the
links provided, everything will line up perfectly.
