Subject: building the 480

From: Scott Juskiw <scott@...>

I'm building my 480s tonight and can't find any mention of Q3-Q6 in
the instructions. Obviously, they go into the board, but is it
recommended to have them thermo-coupled as Stooge Larry mentioned in
a previous email?

Also, I'm wondering what other people think about these pre-populated
boards. It sure saves time getting all the resistors and most of the
caps installed. But it also seems a bit like having your food
pre-chewed. Mmmmmm, baby food. I had a couple of resistors come lose
along the way, so check your ziploc bags before you stuff your lunch
into them.
