==== 0.156 inch MTA connectors ====
[[File:Cgs_0.156_MTA_connector.jpg|thumb|right|177px|0.156" 4 pin MTA connector]]
0.156 inch straight 4 pin connectors as used for the power supply connections on the PCBS (MOTM/Blacet Connectorconnector: Male 4 pin .156 Amp [[MTA Connector]]).

==== TO-3P heatsinks ====
Sometimes these can also be salvaged from old computer monitors, or switch-mode power supplies. Be aware that both monitors and switch-mode power supplies may retain dangerous voltages even when not powered.

Line 31 ⟶ 32:
==== Ferrite beads ====
[[Ferrite bead]]s as used on the power supply feeds to the PCBS. These beads can also be salvaged from old computer circuit boards, hard drives etc. Failing all else, they can be be replaced with a wire link.

==== SPDT centrecenter off mini toggle switches ====
PCB mount SPDT centrecenter off mini toggle switches for the [[CGS89CGS gate sequencer|Gate sequencer]]. These are the common C&K outline miniature toggles, though many copies will be compatible.

==== Wavetable ROMs ====
Line 69 ⟶ 70:
[[BC547]] transistors are just a cheap common NPN transistor. Just use what you can buy locally. 2N3904 should be fine, though the leads are in the reverse order, so you will need to install them "backwards" with respect to the transistor outlines on the overlay. The same applies to BC557, just use the 2N3906. Later PCBs have transistor symbols within these outlines to assist with substituting transistors.
 
Note that the BC547 and BC557 are available in other pin-outs too, depending on which TO-92 spec. the manufacturer has used. According to my my data-books, the pin-out I use is TO-92h.
 
A Phillips C547 '''is''' a BC547. Same applies to C548, C549 C557, C558 and C559. This is one odd occasion where the "C" is not referring to a 2SCxxxx Japanese transistor.
Line 102 ⟶ 103:
This video shows Ken Stone soldering a 1206 SMD 100n capacitors on CGS boards using a regular soldering iron. Instead of using the tip of the iron to position the component, a small screwdriver could be used. Likewise, instead of using your fingernail, a screwdriver could be used to hold the component down.

==== Jacks. ====
I never specify jacks as these will vary with a user's requirements. Sometimes a design will include a [[Normalisation|normalized]] connection, which obviously cannot be achieved easily with a banana connector.
 
== To use the wire anchor holes ==
# Trim off the end of a suitable gauge of hookup wire
# Pass it through the larger (pad-less) hole from below and pull a couple of inches through.
# Strip the insulation from the end of the wire, twist and tin it.
# Bend the wire over and pass the tinned part through the associated pad hole. Trim as needed.
# Flip the board and solder the tinned wire to the pad.
# Pull the excess wire back through the first hole so only a short length remains between the hole and the second pad. Make sure this is the LAST step, or the insulation will peel back from the wire as it is soldered.
