-Be careful, there are 4 different kinds of transistors on this circuit. ​ Make sure you get the right one in the right place. ​ After you build the VCO, it is a good idea to [[VcoTesting|Test]] the circuit after you build it, this will make tesitng (and troubleshooting,​ if you have to) the other sections much easier. 
  
-==== Additions ==== 
-You might want to mount Q8 on a SipSocket, so that you can put a HighGainTransistor in there. 
- 
-If you are unsure of your soldering skills, you can also mount the 3 ICs on DipSockets. Also, if in the future one of these ICs were to fail, you will be glad you socketed them!  
- 
-==== Mistakes to avoid ==== 
- 
-**equaliser says... ** The picture in the fab manual for the 2SK30AO transistor is actually of the AY transistor, which I soldered instead of the AO. Ignore the pic - you need the AO in the VCO.
