Solid State Shortwave Receivers For Beginners - The Listeners Guide

The completed chassis and panel are held together using a couple
of 4BA nuts and bolts.
Wiring
There are very few connections to be made in this simple
receiver, and a straight forward point to point wiring system is the most
practical method of wiring up the set. A complete wiring diagram of
the unit is shown in Fig.8.
Modern components have leads that do not easily oxidize as they
have been developed for modern automatic production methods. This
simplifies soldering and it is not necessary to clean the component lead
out wires unless they are obviously very heavily oxidized. Once the
component leads have been cut to length their ends should be tinned
with solder, and the tags of sockets, etc. should be similarly tinned
before attempting to complete a soldered joint. Use a multi-core solder
and use plenty of solder on each joint. Try not to move the components
while they are being connected. Keep to these guide lines and
good soldered joints should be obtained.
