* Optional parts (see modifications section)
All parts need to be 25V+ rated
Jump means place a jumper in this spot instead of a component
NC means Not Connected, so leave it empty
The main effect is configured as the original. The only deviation is the added switchable 18V
charge pump. If you do not want that then read the modifications section on how to leave it
out.
