Leads To Trim

Leads from the resistors, crystal, and diode sticking out of the back of the production SDrive NUXXs. Time to trim these before fitting the capacitors.

After fitting the crystal, diode, and all resistors to eighteen SDrive NUXX PCBs there are lots of leads to trim before I can move on to the capacitors. Here is the pile of cut leads.

Leads are trimmed in batches as eventually there are enough sticking off the board that they get in the way. Next comes the capacitors, LEDs, and DIP switches before flux is cleaned off and the non-washable parts are fitted.
