GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing the MOTM-510 WaveWarper. If you have any issues concerning the
building or use of the kit, please contact us at (817) 498-3782 or by email: [email protected].
This kit should take the average builder between 3 and 4 hours. The kit contains many
different resistor values and special parts. However, please remember this is NOT a speed
contest; it is an accuracy contest. There is no rule that you have to complete the entire kit in
one day (as long as you wash the flux off!).
Successful kit building relies on having the proper tools. Here is a list of what you will need to
build your MOTM-510:
•
Soldering iron, 50W max power
•
Needle-nose or chain-nose pliers
•
Diagonal cutters
•
Allen key set for securing the knobs (1/16” or 1.6mm)
•
Magnifying glass: to read the capacitor codes and to inspect solder joints
•
Lead bending tool (optional, but makes the job go much faster)
•
(optional) oscilloscope (to check the output)
•
#1 Philips screwdriver
•
Fingernail brush for washing off the organic flux
•
Old towel for blotting dry pc board

There are no calibrations/trimmer to set for this module.
HOW TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS
Please read the entire instruction before proceeding. There may be valuable information at the
end of the instruction. Each instruction has a check box
next to it. After you complete the
instruction, check the box. This way you can keep track of where you are in the process.
VERIFY THE PARTS LIST
Verify that all of the parts are in the kit as shown on the parts list.
A WORD ON SOLDERING
There are 2 very different types of solder used in the kit. Most of the soldering uses ‘Organic
Flux’ solder.
This is strictly for use on the pc board, and is NOT to be used on the front
panel wiring!
In order for solder to ‘stick’ to the copper, a chemical called ‘flux’ is embedded in the solder. The
flux leaves a residue on the pc board that should be cleaned with warm water. DO NOT USE
SOAP OR OTHER CLEANSERS. Most of the parts in the kits are ‘waterproof’ and can be
