Hi Geoff,
Yes it has been fun so far. 800 pins were soldered on the motherboard yesterday. I got the 18 slot with 8 slots supplied. It is a beauty!
Today, I worked on the D/C board - just partway through fitting the LEDs into the front panel. Every LED was tested before installing. I think I checked C7 and C8 5 times to make sure they were the right values!
I am definitely cross checking everything against Grants manual! It helps a lot. I like the way that Grant has preserved the board down to the mistake 'C' mark for SC13.
Cheers
Kelly
