I started melting solder this weekend. Got to the part about installing
6 (or 7?) resistor SIPs on the control board. Only 1 or 2 of them were
marked as indicated in the instructions. The rest were substantially
different. I checked each by measuring resistance between pin 1 and pin
2, and by

I'm trying very hard to avoid any rework. Rework means I have to take
the board to work and I don't want to do that. I believe by being
careful I should be able to avoid any rework during the process. We'll
see...
Keith,
I built my K2

I strongly second Ian's inventory comment, and his reasons for doing it.
It's a bit of a drag, and we all want to
Yes, inventorying is a very good idea, and sometimes there are parts of
the same value but of two different types, like a regular 25pF cap and
an NPO one that's the same value, to be used in different areas.
The resistors are taken care of with the K2, no problems there, but
there are a lot

I've been installing one component at a time and soldering it in. The
assembly instructions call for installing many and then soldering them
later. I assume this is because you're likely to find you have a wrong
component in when you get to further down the list and discover
