ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY INFORMATION Construction of the Mark VI is very simple when com- pared to other kits. The printed circuit board for audio has been preassembled to save you some of the work, and the assembly that remains is in an open, uncluttered layout to make wiring quick and easy.
