Don't feel bad. I missed a pin on the main display and had to very

solder it with everything in the way. And, yes, I checked my
soldering -
just not enough!
K2/100 #5703 is still going string after 16 months of hard use!
The sad part is that I had already checked the soldering 3 times.
Once after the initial
soldering, again at the end of the manual page and then when
instructed to in the
manual.
I guess 2 hour build periods are pushing it for this creaky old 57
year old carcass.

K2 #6358 just passed all the steps in Alignment and Test Part 1.
No smoke was released and after a brief detour to figure out why
segment 10 of the s-meter wouldn't light (pin 1 of the led array
wasn't soldered!) all tests passed.
Missing pin 1 was a real shock to me since I triple checked my
soldering. Also, I haven't been working when I am tired and haven't
worked more than about 2 hours (with breaks) at any one sitting.
I guess Don's advice to:
1. Check your soldering
2. Check your soldering
3. Check your soldering
wasn't enough for me. It took 4 times!
