Is there enough room on the board to substitute a 220uf 50vdc radial cap?
Is pin 7 on the digital section clearly marked? I am fighting cataracts. This is where images would be invaluable. I will be using a 5" swing arm lens plus reading glasses and intense LED lighting to help me see.
Also the resistor....is a 1/4 watt 62K large enough?
I've got ONE SHOT to get this stuff, next week. Willy's Electronics in National City. I forgot about solder wick. I mask off the section of the board to be soldered then use heavy duty spray silicone and just spray the snot out of the remainder. Then I can use compressed air from a can and gravity to desolder things without worrying about spatter shorts.
The WFCO board is going to be left totally open frame / open air and will have a 120 MM fan blowing right across it.
Thank you for all your help. You cannot imagine the frustration of having a dollar discrete component fail or needing to substitute or buy and knowing the nearest one is a thousand mile drive or more. Where I am now, the nearest FedEx UPS or other package delivery office is a THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED MILE DRIVE. Hell the nearest post office is a 245 mile drive.
