Elekit TU-8500 - M3 nut

[milanstastny]

Dear friends,

I have just finished assembly of the TU-8500. In the Instruction manual, there is a M3 nut mentioned, but I cannot find out, where to use it. I have checked instructions more times, but without any success. Could you please advise me? Thank you. Best regards, Milan

I don't know where it should be used but I am sure that if you do not install it in the proper place then the Universe will collapse in less than a year

Cheers,
Ferenc

Dear Ferenc,

I know my question is ridiculous. Still, thank you for your funny answer. This is my bad habit, i like when all is perfect. And Japanese devices are perfect. If they make a small mistake, it can be the sign the Universe is really collapsing...

Hi,

No worries, I did not want to be offensive. The TU-8200 came with some spare bolts and nuts.

I just finished my 8500 build yesterday. It came with two of these nuts. One is a spare, the other is used to secure the screw on the LM2940. If you used a self-tapping screw instead of the one listed, you may have not needed it.
