R16, R17, R18, R19, R20, R21 (4.7 KΩ)

These are the anode resistors.

Socket for IC3 and IC3

Align the chamfer on one corner of the socket with the marking on

the PCB. Be careful not to force in the socket if all pins are not
aligned. Ensure all pins are fully pushed through the holes before

soldering in place. If you find you soldered it in the wrong
orientation, don’t try to remove it. Contact us for an easy remedy.

Now insert IC3, with the dot and chamfered edge aligned as shown

by the arrow in the picture below.
