While I'm waiting for someone at Trinity to reply to my "One last try..." thread, a few more lingering questions.

1. I need a 50 pF cap for the board and a .005 uF for the contour switch but I only seem to have a 47 pF and a .0047 uF left. Are those values close enough?
2. How are you supposed to orient the DPDT switches? All the connection points are on the bottom so I can't tell which side should be on the right in relation to the layout and which should be the left. I note that one side of the switch has two "ON" markings. Should that side face left or right, or does it matter?

Thanks.

I think I've answered my own questions about the DPDT so I'm posting in case anyone else was wondering the same thing.

Near as I can tell it doesn't matter how you orient the switches, just how you wire them. The thing I didn't know is that if you hold the switch so it's pointing up (or down) and the switch lever is pointing "toward" you, then my understanding is that the two terminals the furthest away from you are "on" and if the switch lever is pointing away from you then the near terminals are on (the pair in the middle are "common"). So you can orient the switches however you want and you should be able to figure out from the layout which "on" position does what. E.g., if you connect the 5K output transformer wires to the "near" terminals and you orient the switch so that "pointing away from you" is "down," you can label that switch position on the chassis accordingly (i.e., "Crunch.")

PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG!

Still wondering about the caps...

There will be more time to prepare. So cool.

DPDT or Double pole, double throw switches will break or make the two conductors connected to two separate circuits. In this switch, DP switches control two independent circuits whereas DT switches close a circuit in the up & down position. These switches have six terminals like two inputs and four outputs which are available in both momentary & maintained contact versions. Flappy Bird
