I should point out that, after building around 17 kits in a couple of years, this is the first time I remember Paul making a mistake. That's a pretty good track record! >I messed up! I revised the MOTM-820 parts list at the last minute, the >packed up the resistors >with the *old* BOM (BOM = Bill Of Materials). Grumble. > >OK, these issues will be CORRECTED from today forward. If you get a >MOTM-820 >with the problems, and need resistors, they will be provided. > >a) The instruction to insert the 100 ohm resistor R4 is left out of the >manual. The parts list AND >schematic are correct. > >b) The modification is as follows: resistor R3 IS TO BE 10K. I got this >wrong twice on the same >page (took years of training to do this!). So: > >On page 6, change the (5pcs) of 10K to (6pcs). ADD the instruction to insert >a 10K into R3. >Now, YOU WILL BE A 10K RESISTOR SHORT! If you DON't have one, I will send >some. >12K OR 15K WILL ALSO WORK JUST FINE. > >c) Next instruction: there are 4pcs of 15K. You get 4pcs. Just DELETE the >instruction for R3. >R3 is a 10K! > >d) For the 2K7 resistor: you only need 3. You got 4. Use extra as cat toy. >The instructions say >(4pcs). Cross this out and write a 3.

Thanks to Dave Trenkel for keeping me honest. > >Kits shipped after today will have the CORRECT documentation with the >CORRECT parts. > >Paul S. > > > ____________________________________________ Dave Trenkel : improv@...
