Hello , I am just staring on the Bias / Regulator board, first stumble is the 499 ohm resistor - which way up/down?
Yellow on the top or red on the top?

[Paul Birkeland]

Resistors are not directional.

[Tabaia]

great , thank you.

[Tabaia]

hence no info added about the direction in the manual

Could i please get confirmation that this capacitor is in the correct position.

[Tabaia]

I think i figured it out - Could someone confirm the position of the film Capacitor

[Paul Birkeland]

The second way is more correct than the first, but both would work.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your feedback.
Would it be ok to send you pictures of the boards with components and soldering for some feedback?

[Paul Birkeland]

You can post them here.  So far, I'd suggest either turning the iron temp up all the way or holding on the joints a little longer so they flow out a bit more.

Hi Paul,

Here are the pictures.
Thanks for your support

[Paul Birkeland]

Definitely more heat is needed, and a tiny bit of extra solder.

[Tabaia]

so, my understanding is that I should go over all the solder joints, reheat and add a little solder as well.

[Paul Birkeland]

Yes, when you get the solder hot enough, it will suck into the board a bit.
