Sockets, crystals, trimmer resistors and DC power connector:
●
Parts to be installed are highlighted in gray in diagram below.
●
Install crystals. Push flush to board.
○
Use resistor lead clippings to solder top edge of X1 through X5 to the solder pad next to the top of can.
●
Install the IC sockets.
○
The notch on one end of the socket should be at the same end of the part outline which also has the notch. Note that not all
the sockets face the same direction.
○
Make sure all the pins are sticking through the holes in the board before you start to solder. Sometimes a pin will fold over
under the socket as it is inserted. If this happens and is not noticed, it can be very difficult to remove the socket to fix once
you start soldering.
●
Install the two trimmer resistors. They will go in easier if you first flatten out the kink in the leads with your pliers.
●
Install the DC power jack.
