I'm afraid I come across quite paranoied. :-\


Side note-I tested all the resistors.  If I made a good connection with the leads and didn't move them, they all settled right around the labeled amount.  And after actually assembling some, I wanted to take it apart and do it again.  So much fun, and the manual is extremely easy to follow and well written.

Thanks again.

You're thinking about it too much.

The best thing you can do is practice with it.  Buy some cheap resistors and caps and some terminal strips, maybe a plain bread board from radio shack and practice. 

Here's a video to help with technique.

The chisel tip will work well for all of the building except the smaller green PC board, and probably wiring to the 9-pin sockets.  In those areas, the pointier tip will work nicely.


I wouldn't recommend pulling parts off the boards, they can be a bit fussy when being reworked.
