I found an idea in an old Heath assembly manual to help organize and layout parts for installation. So, I utilized the idea.
I started in building the power supply. I found that separating the sections - that is, caps in one section, then resistors, etc - well, that didn't prove out, so I had to revamp. I made a lot of notes and changed the order of the steps to aid in assembly.
One thing I did was replace their supplied 47mfd 450v cap with a big burly 47mfd axial cap that fit better. This was is the input filter cap, so I figure the bigger the better. I think the rest on down will be ok. I tried to lay things out in such a way that it will be fairly easy to replace when the time comes.
