Duhh! I'm so stupid! I remember reading in the manual that some
caps are marked with a zero and some aren't.
I still reversed Caps: 12/15 and 35/31. Cap 12/15 values are
"560". Cap 35/31 are marked "560". Guess what I did? Yup. I read
value "560" and placed MARKING "560" in its place. Argh! What an
idiot I am!
Now I have to re-reverse them, so 80/17 will work right. Yipes!
At least they're easy to get to!
I'm kicking myself HARD for that idiotic blunder!
Don't feel bad about that. A couple of times the students pulled that
one on me when we were assembling the K2. Fortunately I caught it and
was able to rectify the problem before we went any further. This is
why I would insist that two students work together with one stuffing
the board and the other reading parts values. That way everything got
looked at twice. It helped a lot but there were still errors.
