well, this is frustrating (missing parts on 2 of 2 orders)

Hi, I went to assemble and install the Speedball tonight, and while assembling the PC boards, I thought I should measure the 150K resistors, because they did not look like the ones in the manual.  Here are the ones I was shipped:

They measure 2.49K, not 150K, and definitely do not look like 2W resistors.  So, now, on top of waiting multiple weeks to get my Speedball kit, I am going to have to wait longer to get the correct parts.

If this was a one-time occurrence, I wouldn't think much of it, but my first order of the Crack kit did not include any white hookup wire.  This is not a great customer experience, for BOTH of my first two Bottlehead orders to be screwed up.
 
One of the official Bottleheads will tell you to write replacementparts (at) Bottlehead (dot) com. 

I suggest you call Eileen after 9:30 PDT on Monday.  She is extremely nice and will take care of you.
 
Eileen said new resistors were on their way today, though!  Looking forward to finishing the Speedball and getting it installed.
