Assembly procedure

We'll go line by line through the kit components. This guide assumes that you have had some soldering experience. If not, or it's been a while, you may also want to look at pages 2 and 5-7 of the Bulbdial clock assembly instructions, which go over basic tools and technique. And, if you really are a beginner, there are plenty of good tutorials on line, like this one.

(Assembly instructions will be posted by June 1, 2011. Not yet!)

1. The circuit board.

Here's what the bare circuit board looks like:

We'll be adding components to the labeled locations there.
