building the 480

2005-03-05 by Scott Juskiw

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.
