Line 9:
 
Like types of transistors must be matched, more so with the NPN pair, as the trimpot can deal with some degree of mismatch in the PNP pair. See one of the other online resources for transistor matching, or follow the [[CGS simple transistor matching guide]] which will provide adequate results.

Before you start assembly, check the board for etching faults. Look for any shorts between tracks, or open circuits due to over etching. Take this opportunity to sand the edges of the board if needed, removing any splinters or rough edges.

* 330R refers to 330 Ohms. 100 nF = 0.1 uF, etc.
* PCB is 1.4" x 1".
