SK99 Assembly guide

8. Inductor

Add L1 (red).
Bend sharply one of the leads against the body of L1 for a vertical 
insertion.

9. Resistors

Bend sharply one of the leads against the body the resistor for a vertical 
insertion.
Add R1 to R13.

Warning

 : It is very important to check the resistors value with a DMM 

because the colour code can be ambiguous. For example 1K (brown-black-

black-brown-brown) can be confused with 110R (brown-brown-black-black-
brown).

10. Capacitors

Add C1 and C2.

11. Q9 & Q10 assembly

Attach Q9 (BD139) to the heatsink PCB marked “Sound Skulptor” with 
a M3x12 mm screw and a M3x20 mm spacer. The transistor is placed 
on the side with no writing.

Tighten softly, by hand for now.
