[2A3 SE Valve Amplifier Kit] Analog Metric 1. Solder the resistors on the top of the board. The resistance label of the Dale resistors should face upward for easy of future debugging or modification. 2. Notice to the direction of the electrolytic capacitors C1, C3-5, C7, and C8 (the positive terminals are marked by red circle as shown in Figure 1).
