Still quite empty

On the 14th of April, the board still was quite empty, just a few resistors inserted. The soldering had begun.

Bent leads

At the bottom you can see how I bent all the leads, just before cutting and soldering them.

Check out those shiny resistor-bridges!

Just adding some more resistors...

Voltage regulators

Voltage regulators in place. As you can see, the IC-sockets, headers, DIN-sockets and the power-switch also have been placed already.

8 pieces of the 6582 SID chip

Received my SID-chips! Hooray! Those chips will eventually actually synthesize the sound

Capacitors, the lot of 'em

Caps in all shapes and sizes

Caps soldered to the board

And there they are soldered

Great, enough backlogging for today. Expect more soon
