I must have somehow gotten confused by the three Q2s on the board, and mistook the MJE15033 bag for a . . . no, that makes no sense. Okay, thanks guys. There is no excuse. I made a bonehead mistake, and I'm really grateful for the assistance. I think I'll order a couple my 651s for the Q7s, and...

I populated my Q2L and Q2R with MPS651s. Are those supposed to be in Q7L and Q7R?

Q2 is MJE15033G. Must be a smudge on the 4148.

Okay: Update — My girlfriend needed to use a charger and plugged it into the power strip on the bench. In doing so, her charger pushed the bag with D82 & D83 back under the power strip. So that mystery solved. My dilemma now are the two transistors. I'm inclined to just order two more and...

I just read the diode with a magnifying glass. It's a 4149.

And none of this really matters to me. From my experience with Joe, I have to believe I screwed up somehow. What I really want to know is, what do I need? Is it just the Q7s that are missing? Or do I need the D82 & 83? I'll just order them myself. No problem. I just want to make sure I have...

I have searched my shop, top to bottom, and I can't find either Q7 or D82 & 83.

Also, I did not have bags for D82 and D83.

I will double and triple check the shop, but all the components were left in their box until I started soldering.

Okay, I don't have a bag for Q7, LR. And, as far as misplaced, I do have bags for Q1- NPN MJE15032, as well as Q1, L and R- MPSA92.

The problem is, I don't know which bag it came from, and they're all thrown out now.

Alright, the control board is populated. . . . . . except for one thing. As I was cleaning up the bench, I found this little diode underneath some tools. And here's the thing, all the pictures of finished boards I've found online are of a different vintage than mine. So I don't have...

Okay, I finally found more time to tinker. Also, both the control board and the relay arrived, so I'm all set. The only thing is, I need to wait for a couple items in the mail. First, I had to order one of the capacitors for the relay. Second, I ordered a needle-thin tip for my soldering iron...

I checked out that guy's video on the power-up process. Very clear. I'm going to go find the resistors tomorrow. Right now, NASCAR is finally sending the field off in Texas. Five hour rain-delay. Time to get a pizza delivered. Plus, I was just invoiced and then PayPal-ed for both your board and...

Yeah, I found that guy's video series some time ago. He's fantastic. And I've followed along with his journey. But now that you reminded me of it, I'm going to go watch chapter 6. Thanks for the help.

Ahh, that's quite different, isn't it. Okay, sorry for being careless in my reading. You know how it is, you read something incorrectly one time and your brain will keep misreading it until something breaks the cycle.

Just for clarification, by infinite resistance, I assume you mean just make sure it's an open circuit with the DMM. Also, when you say disconnect the single wire to the left board, I'm assuming you mean the ground that goes to the buss bar. However, I'm a bit confused as to what, specifically...

Yeah, thanks. I have that sheet and I've looked it over about 100 times. So I guess it's just time to go get my hands dirty with fingers crossed.

Okay, thanks. But is there any source you know of that has any more information on the procedure. For obvious reasons, I'm a bit anxious about putting power to anything for the first time.
