Don't feel bad about writing errors, I recently recapped a Hallicrafters 
PS-150-120 and decided to replace the diodes with a heavier version while I was in 
there. Although I marked the board carefully, when I did the smoke test, it 
promptly popped a fuse.  I had to look at it several times over a couple of 
days to find that I had installed one diode backwards. For some reason, they 
don't work very well that way. The only damage, fortunately, was to several fuses 
and my pride!

73 and Happy New Year to all,

John,  W4AWM
