STEP 56
Solder the eyelet boards
When all the parts and wires are in
the right place and tightly wrapped,
it's time to set the connections with
solder .
Review the tips for great soldering on
page 17, then solder each connection
on the eyelet boards .
After soldering all the joints, clip the
excess leads on the back and the
front of the board . This is important
to avoid a short in your circuit .
Check all your solder joints to make
sure they're shiny .

STEP 57
Install the four boards
Make sure you have enough length
on the unsoldered jumpers coming
through holes 7 and 29 to reach
their components . To do this, lay the
main eyelet board on the floor of the
chassis where it will be mounted and
adjust these jumpers .
Install the filter cap board and its
insulation board first, on the exte-
rior of the chassis . Run a 6-32 x 1/2"
machine screw through the inside
of the chassis and then lay down the
insulation board, then the filter cap
board . Secure it with a locknut on the
outside of the chassis .
Feed the green, red, and white jump-
ers from the filter cap board through
the grommeted hole under the input
jack .

Inside the chassis, lay the insulation
board down first and then the main
eyelet board on top of it .
Line up the mounting holes and pass
a 6-32 screw through the mounting
hole in between eyelets 9 and 10 . Pass
this screw through the holes in the
main eyelet board, main insulation
board, chassis, filter cap insulation
board, and filter cap eyelet board .
Secure with a 6-32 locknut .
Feed the blue jumper coming from
hole 17 through the grommeted hole
under the output jack .
Pass a 4-40 screw through the other
mounting hole on the main eyelet
board and secure it on the other side
of the chassis with a 4-40 locknut .
