[Bruce Rattray]

OK Bill...thank you...I'm going to pull out and put P6 in the right
way...Gary told me I can do this by removing either the heat sink OR the
right side panel...I'm going to remove the right side panel...I don't
think I'll use the 100 watt amp but I've been known to change my mind
every now and then eh!?...  ;-)

...I'm a little "gun shy" about the finals because when I put them in
initially I had a collector short due to a small metal shard on the
thermal pad that I could only see with a magnifying glass...but if I have
to remove the heat sink, I will...

...thanks for the suggestion about colour coding...I have put a label on
P4 that says "UP" so I will do your colour coding idea as well; anything
that cuts down my odds of goofing...hihi...thank you...
