ASM-1 transisters advice for the novice

[Debby and Gene Stopp]

The 2N3906's that I use in the VCF in my ASM-1's are all installed according
to the silkscreen, in the same orientation as the 2N3904. Both types have
the pinout E-B-C as you look at the flat face of the plastic package with
the pins pointing down.
