- Page 2 Thank you for purchasing the Jellyfish. In this step by step tutorial we will show you how to assemble the machine. Before start: Ensure that you work in a well ventilated area and that you have all the necessary tools (soldering iron, solder, cutting pliers, etc.). If you have very little or no soldering experience make a search on the www.
- Page 3 Time to solder the sockets now. Notice that the sockets for the PT2399 are 16 pin type, and the ones for CD40106 and TL074 are 14 pin type. Put the 4 sockets in place and turn the PCB trying to maintain the sockets in place.
- Page 4 Now solder the 6 transistors and the voltage regulator. Transistors are temperature sensitive and too much heating time can destroy it. The use of pliers here pressing gently to body of the transistor is a good way to dissipate the heat of the solder. You will need an extra hand (or tool). Now solder de electrolitic capacitors to the rear part of the PCB.
- Page 5 You can solder the trimmers now. Do it on the rear side. This way you can calibrate the machine without disassembly the case every time. You need to cut a leg for 10K trimmers (R23, R29, R44 & R46).
- Page 6 Solder the 14 potentiometers. Push carefully until the base of the potentiometer is touching the PCB. It is very important for all the pots to be straight and perpendicular to the board. If not you might find some trouble later. It is a good idea to all the potentiometers first, and then solder it.
- Page 7 Now put all the switches in place but don't solder it yet. Insert the acrylic front panel letting the potentiometers and switches pass through the holes. Screw all the switches and solder it. Note that the pots will not use the nuts. The last components that we solder to the PCB are the leds.
- Page 8 Now we will start with the wiring part. Take the rear panel and screw all the connectors to it. Let it aside. Take now the wire and solder it to the the PCB. If you have not purchased a kit you will need shielded cable with to wires plus ground.
- Page 9 First cut the wire and solder it to the PCB. Now mount the upper, left, right and front panels. Solder the connectors and mount the rear panel.
- Page 10 Turn now the Jellyfish, insert the knobs and test it. If everything is working you can proceed to the calibration. Congratulations!
