BAH! i downloaded the service manual from firstwatt.com and it was old 🙁 sorry for the confusion.
nycavsr2000, do you have your excel sheet that u used for this ?

What excel sheet?
That was directly from my order that I made out to Digikey! So ya, you're going to manually put them in, but I've given you enough info to do that. Here is the whole order:

You'll see I've omitted some capacitors since I'll be ordering Black Gate 100 uf N capacitors for the main board (you don't need 220uf capacitors per Peter Daniel) and 15,000 uf Jensen 4 pole capacitors for the power supply from Parts Connexion. I also omitted Q1 and Q2 since I bought them from Peter Daniel already. Q3 through Q10 is omitted since I purchased them from Landoctor as matched MOSFETS. The LED is completely optional. I'm getting my transformer from Plitron 18VAX2/300VA. With a bias of 0.43A per device, and 12 devices for a stereo amplifier, you are talking about about a nice ~5A of bias! Wow!
Now get working fellas
and stop hanging around oogling at this screen! 😱

ACTUALLY, i am populating boards now 🙂 im putting in the 4 220uf caps and leaving out the others. SInce ihave 80% of the resistors already im populating them now. I hae to order caps for the psu and diodes and a few other resistors. Them im set, i bought my transformer from plitron already. I should be up and running very soon.
Thanks for the help, now to order handfull or less of resistors from digikey..
Re: Resistor options?
What heatsinks have you got and where did you source them from?
Thanks

I've received my boards from Peter (beautiful, by the way), my transformer from Plitron, some heatsinks, . . . TIA - Pat

I just got some sink materials from a guy on ebay, from Michigan. Relatively inexpensive, and I hope that they'll be sufficient. If not, I've got some additional sinking materials from old amp projects that I can add. - Pat

Thanks again,

I don't have a digital camera. If you look at the side of an x150 you will get the idea though...and two of them had boards and fets attached still.

Hi Peter,
My boards have arrived - and are the BEST quality I have seen yet. Fantastic!!!
Very many thanks for making these available.

I have only 2 boards left and priority will be given to complete set orders (with PS board). If there is more interest, I can always reorder.
Due to 15% drop in USD exchange rate I switched to CAD$.

Peter, I'm certain that I'll be ordering more from you in the future. If no one wants the last two, I'll go for them. I don't want to hoard, so I'll wait a week.

Hi all
I followed korben69's bom(v2.1 - post #287) without fully checking what was going on after a couple of people chipped in with amendments.......can anyone tell me why r10 to r15 are 100R on this bom when all Nelson's circuits seem to be for 150R...
I have searched for reference to this but drew a blank.
regards
Ed

Hi Ed,
there are (at least) two versions, the 6/4/07 R0 which has 150 gate resistors and 10ohm source on jfets, and (i guess) the last revision, which has 100R on mosfet's gates.
Take a look here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=1289459#post1289459
my post was about the first and r0 version.
The new one (100R) should be the definitive one.
hmm.. This is the last one as far as i kow: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=1263192&stamp=1185337158

well... i'm a bit confused too...
i could swear i downloaded http://www.passlabs.com/np/f4-power-amp.pdf not more than 2 weeks ago and it was the '100R' version. maybe i'm just stoned
