shows them to be, with the tabs pointing the right way. i am using
the specific transistors that the site says to use with the metal
caps. the other thing i am thinking about is that i am powering it
via 2 9v batteries that i've connected in both series and parallel.
neither made a differance. originally i connected them in parallel
with the pos. lead connecting to the +ve pad, the pos. of the second
battery and the neg. of the first going to the 0v pad, and the neg.
of the second going to the -ve pad. now i have both pos. leads going
to the +ve and the neg, going to the -ve and a jumper going form the
ground to -ve pads. sorry if this was all a stupid rookie mistake
and have wasted all your time. if i can get this working, it is
intended for a standalone rack unit. i am using the batteries more
for testing purposes before i get a power supply. i've put up some
pix on my website to see if anyone can tell me if i put something in
wrong. sorry if some are a little blurry, but i am using a new
camera and still getting use to it. anyway, the site is
http://www.havensole.com/steinervcf/ please let me know if there are
any problems with the pix. they are really high res so they can take
a bit to d/l. if they are too small, just rightclick and d/l them so
they can pop up extremely huge. thanks again to everyone.
