General Questions / Demeter TRM1 Question

Apologies in advance if this is in the wrong place...

So I have one of these and there is something wonky about it....working on figuring that out.

In the mean time, does anyone else have one of the 'latest' versions of this pedal and if so, does this look weird to you?

Looks like one of the legs from the B500k has gone and to the right of where that leg should be, seems to be a partial hole with solder.

On the back of the board, this exists....ie where the partial hole was/is...

I am guessing at some stage this had been rehoused into a smaller enclosure before being returned to a standard one...ie two top bits now angled...

I am intrigued if someone could post a pic of theirs if they have, wondering if this has been ruined?

Thanks in advance.

I know nothing BUT, willing to learn  ;D

Hello...
So I am going to attempt to build the One Knob Fuzz using Andy C's layout.
BEFORE I get going, I want to make sure of a few BASIC things...
I am England and have read on here about different forms of solder...I would like to know which one would be 'best' ie 60/40 or the other, 63/37 I think? Also, what is the right diameter? Too thin might take longer and therefore use more heat against parts?
I have an okay soldering station...'Grandma Shark' 937D...Again, I would like to make sure I run it at the optimum heat setting.
Idiot questions I know BUT, I want to get this right from the start.
Appreciate any clues/advice.
Bob  :)
