ASSEMBLING THE 9720 DUAL VCO W/MODULATOR
Before beginning assembly, go through the manual.
Look at the drawings. Feel the parts. You’re
naturally eager to plunge right in, but take a few
deep breaths first. Check the parts supplied against
the packing list on the last page of this manual.
In some cases, notes packed with the parts will
be used to call your attention to special situations.
These notes may be in the "MISSING PARTS"
postcard.
If parts are missing
please notify PAiA at
p405.340.6300, f340.6378, or [email protected] .
Notice that each step in the manual is marked with
a checkoff box like this:
DESIGNATION VALUE COLOR CODE
( ) R27 100 ohm brown-black-brown
Checking off each step as you do it may seem
silly and ritualistic, but it greatly decreases the
chance of omitting a step and also provides
some gratification and reward as each step is
completed.
Numbered figures are printed in the Illustrations
Supplement in the center of this manual. These pages
may be removed for easy reference during assembly.
THE CIRCUIT BOARD
The 9720 VCO is built on a double-sided circuit
board. No special preparation or cleaning is necessary
before assembly. The "top" of the board is the side that
is printed with component designations and parts are
mounted from this side. The "bottom" of the board is
also called the solder side and is masked with a
conformal coating to lessen the chance of solder bridges.
Solder pads are tin-lead plated for ease of soldering and
assembly.
TOOLS
You’ll need a minimum of tools to assemble the kit
- a small pair of diagonal wire cutters and pliers,
screwdriver, sharp knife, ruler, soldering iron and solder.
