Hi Windell, I wish I could give you more info, but as I mentioned I was building this PCB along with two other bulbdial kits and the others went together fine....haven't changed my rig or solder in anyway for many years...Just finished building some…
Hi Windell, I've replaced C3 and C6, played with the mechanical side of things (tapping, bending LED's etc) and it still does it..I've checked and double checked the layout, the other capacitors, swapped IC's (as I'd mentioned before) and I can't se…
