x0xb0x #888 Begins

Parts have been checked against the BOM and sorted, the 2SA733 transistors sorted by hFE, and assembly can now begin.

The sorting of parts and confirming kit contents against the BOM is tedious. On the upside, this x0xb0x kit (#888) is not missing any parts and now that everything is sorted I can begin putting it together. That’ll be tomorrow or thursday’s task, and hopefully I’ll finish up this weekend.

This kit is slightly different from the past ones I’ve received, because it came with domed red LEDs like the ones I had to purchase separately in the past. I’ll have to order a red RUN button and some knurled black aluminum knobs from Digi-Key to match the last piece of custom artwork which it will be fitted with, but that shouldn’t be a big deal. I should probably put a power switch on this one as well.
