Andy,

Here are links to pics of the Polysix boards in question:

369 : Loose Blue wire and cut trace:

367 : Here is the build I have been working on, do note that Mouser sent some of the Metal-oxide resistors that are 1/2 watt vs 1/4 watt. There are 4 installed. I may go find 1/4 watt to replace but did not think this factor would affect the board. If I am wrong please let me know ;) If you see anything else send me a note.
