MOTM

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. Be neat, and spelling is graded. The
parts list, schematic,
and instructions are correct. The technical term is a "typo".

Well, THAT was a mess! Thanks to Dave Trenkel for keeping me honest.

Kits shipped after today will have the CORRECT documentation with the
CORRECT parts.

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!
