Make it:
![]() | Here is the LowTom |
![]() | Solder all resistors. Solder each value one after the other. . |
![]() | Solder D55,D56 diode 1N4148 MAKE SURE DIODES ARE IN THE RIGHT WAY |
![]() | Solder both germaniums diodes.
MAKE SURE DIODES ARE IN THE RIGHT WAY |
![]() | Solder polyesters capacitors |
![]() | Solder C82 electrolytic capacitor MAKE SURE ELECTROLYTICS CAPACITORS ARE IN THE RIGHT WAY
|
![]() | Solder transistors.Do not get confused between 2SA733 and 2SC945 it is not the same transistors.
MAKE SURE TRANSISTORS ARE IN THE RIGHT WAY |
![]() |
Connect the power transformer. Test 4558 power supply. The green dot is-15V, the red dot is 15 V (plus or minus 5%). You have the ground on the potentiometer big square pad . Always check that the four wires from the power supply is well connected.
THEN DONT FORGET TO DISCONNECT THE POWER TRANSFORMER. DO NOT SOLDER COMPONENT AS THE CIRCUIT IS POWERED ! |
![]() | Solder the 4558. To insert it into the PCB you have to bend the leads a little. |
![]() | Finally return the PCB and solder potentiometers on the opposite side of components. To assembly the switch, solder one lead of the switch and before soldering the other check that it is well pressed against the PCB. DO NO WRONG IN THE VALUES OF POTENTIOMETERS, BOTH POTENTIOMETERS ARE DIFFERENT. You can then go to MiddleTom assembly |
