Metal can package question...

[RevTor at aol.com]

hello all,
(Try Paia for stomp box cases...  www.paia.com) 

    Okay, I am resuming finishing my ASM  project and I think I remember not 
being 
too sure about the pinout of the 3140's MAT 02's and 2n45856's in my 
oscilators.  My question is regarding the orientation of the pins with 
relation to the metal tab on the can package.  Do they read (with the tab at 
12'oclock) form 1-8 in a clockwise driection or from 1 to 8 in a 
counterclockwise direction?  thanks, I just dont want to blow anything up on 
the first power up....
Any quick hints about setting the trim pots?  (I have no scope...I dont even 
have a DMM!! : )   Anyone got a used scope that they want to sell cheap?) 
I think I read something a few years back about using headphones to roughly 
set the levels??  Bad idea?  
Thanks list..
