CONNECTOR BOARD
Let’s start with the connector board PCB. Before you start soldering, take your time and find all the
resistors values
using a multimeter
(or you can check the color codes if you are seasoned enough).

Now insert and solder
21 resistors (7x 10k, 14x 1k). Then snip the leads as close to the PCB as you
can (be sure to make this step on all remaining leads in the course of this guide).
Turn around the PCB and insert
seven
transistors (2N3904). Watch out for
orientation! Flat side of transistors must
match the outline drawn on the PCB. You may
also want to push the leads in the upper part
closer to each other to insert the transistors
closer to the PCB (although they should not
be flat with the PCB).
Next insert seven
jacks and seven green LEDs. Be careful to put the longer lead of LEDs into the
plus (+) hole
. Jacks must sit flat on the board, otherwise they will not come easy through the front
panel.
Do not solder anything yet.
