7E. Install C69, a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor.
8E. Install C83, a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor. Don’t get confused the
closely spaced “+” marks on the board for C72, 82, and 83. All three should
face the same direction.
9E. Install C82, a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor.
10E. Install J8, a 5 pin jumper header. Make sure and leave the longer
leads facing up, with the shorter ends soldered to the board. This is where
the connection is made to the front panel.
11E. Install C51, a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor.
12E. Install C58, another 10 uF electrolytic, remember to check polarities!
13E. Install C71, a 10 uF electrolytic capacitor.
14E. Install C77, the last 10 uF electrolytic capacitor in this section.
Well that’s it for the peak hold circuits and the 15 KHz low pass filter. Quick
and painless, wasn’t it? We have to go back now and check all our work to
make sure that we didn’t install anything in the wrong way or have any
soldering errors such as bridges and cold solder joints. When you’re done, go
grab a soda (preferably caffeinated) and give yourself another eyeball break!
Our next section is the toughest of the whole kit so make sure you have all of
your skills primed and ready for the true test!
