C cobra148 Member Jun 29, 2008 #1 Hi, Bit confused with the placement of these diodes. The finished board photo 1.jpg (attached) shows black bar on diode pointing to the left. But the silkscreen placement 2.jpg (attached) shows that the diodes black bar should pointing to the right , doesnt it ?. Thanks.

C cobra148 Member Jun 29, 2008 #3 Yes, didnt think of looking at that schematic. Seems like the placement is right , (finished photo is wrong). Part of sch is attached (3.jpg). Looks like they photo'd a finished board ,that wouldnt have worked anyway. Ah well , the joys of electronics eh. Thanks & regards. Attachments 3.jpg 282.1 KB · Views: 165
