PARTS LIST TOOLS AND SUPPLIES (HELPFUL) Resistor values are indicated by colored bands, read from left to right. The first color in the code is usually the one painted closest to a lead wire. When a gold or silver band is present, it’s always one of the last colors in the code. 100 resistor (1) 22K resistor (1) #7379...

Resistors have a low profile, sitting closer to the board Next, we’re going to add a bunch of resisitors to our PCB. Like in the previous step, you’ll than taller components, so installing these now will make find an outline of each resistor and its value printed in their proper location on the PCB. Match resistors to the values on the PCB and solder in place.

The three types of capacitors shown below are polarized and have to be installed in The remaining capacitors below are not polarized. 100nF capacitor (1) the correct orientation. Note the stripe running the length of each cap; this identifies However, best practice is to solder these caps in #7304 the negative (minus) lead.

Insert the output jack into the right side of the housing with the tip connection facing up, as shown in the diagram. Add the washer and thread the nut on to the shaft enough so that the pot can rotate freely. You may need to rotate the jack to provide INSTALL COMPLETED easier access to setting the solder joints.
