Note about 2N3904s in kits

2004-02-28 by Paul Schreiber

My latest batch of 2N3904 transistors has the center lead *slightly* offset from
the 2 outside leads. The pc board pattern has them in a straight line. These
will go into the board fine as-is, but the anal folks (you know who you are) may
want to un-do the lead crimp by squeezing the lead with a pair of needlenose
pliers first.
