I now have everything that I was waiting on. All parts needed are in my hands and I am wondering about transistor installation.
How do I determine which way to install transistors? How do I identify each leg of the new transistors and then identify each leg of the old transistors and thus confirm that the legs of the new transistors are being soldered to the correct solder pads? Example...a three legged JFET transistor?
Some of the transistors that I am installing get bolted to a heatsink and only go into position one way so I dont think I can mess that up, but others have more room for error so leg identification would be more of a necessity.
