Next, refer to the sketch below and install the following components on the 

“BACK”

 side of the board. 

Do not elevate the components. 
 
 

 

 
 
 

[   ] 

Install C2, .1uF, marked 104 

 
[   ] 

Install D2, 1N4148 signal diode, observing the black polarity band (cathode) location as shown 

 

 above. 

 
[   ] 

Install R4, 470 ohm resistor (yellow-violet-brown-gold) 

 
[   ] 

Install R1 – R3, 51 ohm, 2W, power resistor 

 
 
Next to assemble are the two toroids on the 

“BACK”

 side of the board. 

 
[   ] 

For L1, use the T50-6 (yellow) core and 24” of the supplied magnet wire. You are winding a total 

 

of 

23

 turns, with a tap at 

3

 turns from the beginning of winding. The picture, and figure below 

 

shows the beginning of winding and the twisted technique for the tap.  

 

Note:

 

Now is a good time to mention a good way for counting the turns on your toroids. Many times on 

toroids with a lot of turns, you lose track going around, as some are quite small. A good trick is to take a 
digital picture of it and blow it up on your computer screen. Counting is clearly a lot easier.
