Should the dot on the pak be oriented with the arrow on the board? 2) The 20 and 50mhz crystals - Do they get soldered on the board, or should there be sockets like the board mask shows? 3) The 3 diodes, the arrow on the board, matches the black tail end of each diode for direction? 4) The 4 leds, is the short leg the positive lead or the long one? 5) These 50 odd same tantalum capacitors, no orientation right? (A5E104M, top 931ZC bottom), yet why does George's diagram show +v on left, vertical +v towards bottom? All help would be appreciated Bob (heathkit) Von Borstel
