I've just started building K2#5290. Thought I would pass along a small
building tip.
The search function of the current Adobe PDF reader is quite handy for
finding things in the manual.
Example 1: Having just finished populating the caps on the Control
Board, I noticed the spot for C44 was empty. A quick search of the PDF
manual on "C44" took me to page 21 and explained that C44 is unused.
Example 2: At this point I had expected all the non-electrolytic caps
to be mounted, but I had one .01uF (103) left over. Since I had done a
thorough inventory, I figured I screwed up. A search on "103" eventually
took me to page 20 and the added C46 for the keying shaping circuit on
the bottom side of the board.
A caution... after finding your info in the PDF manual, double check
with your errata marked-up paper manual!
Anyway, the search function saves a lot of time flipping pages - and is
undoubtedly more thorough than scanning with tired eyes. It works on
the schematic pages too!
Having fun!
