Sorry took so long to reply I've just finished digging through every last pot that I have and I swear I have everything but. However I can order those without a problem.

I am bollicks at reading schematics but I think these were the two relevant sections.





I am in absolute babe in the woods when it comes to doing anything it's not strictly run-of-the-mill. Would you mind walking me through it?

Thanks guys, I'm not used to having this much trouble sourcing parts. It's frustrating when you are up against a hard deadline.

So, I still can't source the 2/2.5ka 16mm pots that I need. Am desperate and looking over at Ali-Baba.

Is this a bad idea or does anyone have some caveats?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I though so, I just like to check with someone who knows a lot more than I do.

Sorry another question.

For number of the caps it says film in the description but on the Mouser BOM it shows  an MLCC.

It shouldn't matter if I use box film in place of the MLCC, correct?

Also, could I use LM741cn in place of LM741P?

All right everyone I'm at a standstill until I can trade for some parts.

Did I leave my lube out again?

Solder then snip as you go.



A little clean up w/flux remover.



That's where I'm at so far.

Partially populated w/resistors



Covered w/tape to protect resistors from blu tack.



Covered w/blue tack. Press down firmly.



As you can see, it's pretty straight.

Ha!

I've got paint pens!

Will you taunt me a second time?

Thx Alanp,

I am most uncomfortable with deviation in this setting. However, I trust you guys. Now I'm just got to decide if I want to use it from an aesthetic point of view.

I'll soldier on with the build and let my subconscious chew on it for awhile.

Thx Somnif,

HHMM showed 4.84M

I'm bollicks at reading schematics, but I'm trying to see what part of the circuit this in.

Any reason not to use the carbon fil resistor besides looks?

It looks to be on the front end of the input.

OK so I decided I'm going to blog this build as I go.

I only made it to step three before I got stumped. Help me identify this part, I have it my resister box and it's labeled four. 7 AM it reads four. 7 AM on the multimeter I just need to know if it's a different wattage or is it just a different brand than I'm used to her usually use Xicon. I don't want to get done with this and find out that I messed it up in the very beginning

Any Ideas?
