The CC1 kit is getting closer to being completed. All the tiny bits are soldered on, and now there's just the toroids left to wind. I put T1 and L4/L5 on last night and now there are just 8 inductors left to wind. No lost pieces, only one extra part (which was extra to begin with) and only two fried components.
I discovered when I went to install R50 that I had accidentally installed it in the R26 position. They're both the same resistance, but the R50 is a larger resistor. In my haste, I must have just grabbed the first 100 ohm resistor that I saw and put it on. Fortunately I was able to get it off the board without too much fuss and put it where it belonged.
I also found that installing U2 and Q9 is a whole lot easier with lots and lots of flux on the board. Wish I had known that when I installed U1 and U5.
I better get cracking on learning Morse code!
