G3 soldering pictures ?

Bludo

Hello,
I have just received my G3 Madamp.

But, i'm not proficient in soldering components on the board.
Therefore, i need some help: Can anyone post Top View AND Rear View pictures of the Wiring Board ?
Thank you very much !

Bludo

I found the top view in the manual, i should have seen it before ...
Anyway, if someone has a picture of the rear view of the wiring board, i'm very interested !
Please help, i don't know how to solder the lugs.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum!
What exactly are you looking for, there is a top view picture of the board and both a top and rear view drawing showing the wiring in the G3 manual!?

Bludo

Yes there is a drawing of the rear view but it doesn't show how to solder the wires:
- do i have to plug the lugs in the holes and solder them from the rear side ?
- do i have to solder them flat ?
- do i have to solder them from the top side ?
I don't know if my questions are clear but i think that a picture would help me a lot !

MAD

Well, I've thought the drawings are self explaining but here we are:
- the drawing on page 10 shows where to solder the ends of the wires => "center hole - wiring board lugs (top and rear)"
- see above
- the drawings on page 11 shows the wires (solid coloured lines) for the top and rear of the board. There is only one connection which starts on the rear (12-11) and terminates on the top (11-10)

Bludo

Thanls but this does not answer my questions.
Maybe it wasn't clear.

Nevermind ... I'll found it by myself !

MAD

I'm happy to help, but I don't feel I can do anything more regarding your questions. Maybe it's a misunderstanding so feel free to rephrase your questions to help me to help you

Bludo

Ok but finally, i have finished to solder the wires.
A Picture is better than a speech: Here attached is the rear view.
It's not very nice but do you think it is ok in terms of soldering ?

MAD

Looks good to me...

Bludo

Ok, fine !

Bludo

Thanks for your support and please, note that a resistor is missing in my kit: I did not find R4 (560 ohm)

MAD

I'm sorry to hear that but please adress this to the seller of the kit (Musikding), I'm "only" the developer

Bludo

Allright !

Please have a look to the attached photo, i have some questions:
- Could you tell me if the 2 capacitors (C6, C7) are 22nf 400v Rubicon F2D ? or not ?
- And the other one is the 270pf 50V Styroflex capacitor (C5) ? (the text on the component is partially erased)

Thanks for your help

MAD

Yes, they are 22nF capacitors (223k = 22.000pF 10%) for the tone stack. The third one is hard to determine (I don't know which capacitors Musikding is sending with the kit), can you post a picture showing more details?

Bludo

Ok, Here attached is the zoomed photo of the component:

MAD

271 = 270pF

Bludo

Ok, Thanks!
