This is the kit I bought. Please notice the vendor will solder the surface mount chips for you if requested. That saves a lot of time and effort.

Found two items at Radio Shack. Which one (if either) is recommended? Both appear to have center ground.

What is the purpose of the 74HC04 board component?
And Is it possible to disable it?
it's a hex inverter if i'm not mistaken, and it's not bypass-able
Didn't think of it yesterday, but I do have the following in my upgrade package:
MC77808ACTG
MC7812CTG
MC7912CGT
Can I assume those are direct replacements not directly related to any other upgrade component?
(I did order the STMicroelectronics (L) versions along with a new AK4396 and 3 LM1117s already just in case.)
MC77808ACTG
MC7812CTG
MC7912CGT

Hi Bob,
you can use them, they're direct (but better sounding) replacements.
MC77808ACTG
Typo?
They should be MC7809CTG

Yes and you might want to have another opamp on hand.Can I assume those are direct replacements not directly related to any other upgrade component?
Hey, Hey. We got lights. We got voltages as listed in Dario's post #1304.
Haven't gone for sound yet. All three LEDs except "No Audio" are lit. Is that the way it should be with no connections?
When I first mounted the new regulators I was disappointed to find the same bad readings. Then I remembered I had seen some through-hole metal on a couple pins when de-soldering the old pieces. I put a tab of solder on the top of the PCB at each pin and - MAGIC.
Ready to hook up unless someone describes additional precautions to take.

Cool time to give it a try me thinks.Hi Fan,
3.7mv and 1.7mv. There wasn't a solder bridge - just some open joints at the regulator pins.
