==== 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.

==== 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 center off mini toggle switches ====
PCB mount SPDT center 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.

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.
