Resistor, RFC and Diode placement

Caution: The 1N4148 and 1N5231 
diodes look identical, read the 
numbers carefully on the side of the
part. A magnifying glass maybe 
required. Observe polarity as 
indicated by black line on one end 
of the part and diagram. 

Parts are numbered on the board 
from left to right, top to bottom in 
diagonal rows. 

Sorting the resistors into their 
various values before hand will 
speed up assembly. 

You may want to install all the 
resistors of one value at a time 
instead of sequential locations.
