Hi,

I have reviewed the BOM and have some questions regarding some parts:

1) C93: Which voltage should the capacitor have?
2) The Metal Film Resistors RM10. Should they be 1/4Watt, 1/2 Watt or higher?

That's it for now. Many thanks for your help.

regards, Tom

Hi Tom,

1) C93 will see 36V so with a 50V cap you should be fine
2) I have never checked the power dissipation of the resistors, but 0.25W should be fine for all of them. I used 0.6W, mostly because I had them, but also because research shows that thermal variation can cause distortion, so bigger is better I think (this may not be entirely accurate but works for me )

Please note the "Paradise Builders" thread may be the better place to ask these questions:

Just a short question: Have all sets already been posted? I am asking because so far I have not received anything yet.

Cheers,

Is there any online info where we can watch the progress of shipping? I mean I really do not want to be pushy and I am not impatient, but some kind of info would be nice.

Many thanks Holger for your help

In fact, not all parcels are on their way (I am only human, bear with me....). I still have around 40 parcels sitting there. Additional packing material is arriving tomorrow, and with a little bit of luck I should be able to get it all packed up until the end of this week. DHL will pick up either friday or monday hopefully.

I should be able to send the tracking numbers for the non-german parcels within a couple days as well. No worries, everybody who paid will get their stuff!!

keep the faith

Are the corner mounting holes left intentionally blind? What substance is the whitish pads coating? Could be useful info for best compatible solder type.
