Constructors should refer to the Component Overlays along with,
the Bill of Materials for the current value of all components, and
the General Construction Notes for general PCB assembly guidelines.

  1. Assemble all PCBs excluding the Column 2 PCB. When building the Column 3-6 PCBs, first prepare the pots by cutting off their anti-rotation stubs using a pair of, preferably old, cutters.
  2. On the Column 2 PCB
    1. Mount the headers for S5 and S6 on to their Carrier PCBs ensuring that the PCB sits firmly on the separator bar of the header
    2. Install switches S5 and S6 on to their Carrier PCBs
    3. Mount the S5 & S6 assemblies on to the Column 2 PCB ensuring that the separator bar is resting firmly against the Column 2 PCB
    4. Install S1, S2, & S4 on to their respective Carrier PCBs
    5. Mount the S3 and the Carrier assemblies on to the Column 2 PCB but do not solder
    6. Offer the sub-assembly up to the panel and secure using the associated nuts and washers
    7. Check that each of the switch bodies are parallel to the Column 2 PCB and solder in to place\

    Install remaining Column PCB assemblies securing all components with their associated nuts and washers.
