Missing C42 153J 100V

I've double and triple checked all my parts and so far that is the only one i am missing. Should i keep moving forward on the assembly and see if there are any other parts missing?

For the person who prepared the kit, it is almost impossible to go wrong as there are hundreds of components. I have rarely seen DIY kit without sorting errors. So I will continue and find a 15n cap elsewhere.

In my kit i had 3 153J 100V and the rest of them was 2A153J.. I assumed they were all the same.

Haven't started building myself, but I checked all parts in the kit except resistors and nothing was missing.. There was one extra transistor iirc

I do the same and i even tested all components before assembly.(especially the transistors) It avoids unpleasant surprises at the end.

Another diy i have a friend who had not checked the transistors in the end the bass drum does not work because a transistor was defective.
I always check the transistors and measure their gain. It's better to spend several hours checking, that spend several days to troubleshoot.

You're right
