[Elecraft] Resistor networks, polarized?

[Dick Dievendorff]

A resistor network normally has one common pin; one side of each of the
resistors goes to a distinguished pin. It isn't going to work if it's in
backward.

I invested in a Hakko 808 to remove solder from multi-pin devices. I find it
difficult with just solder wick.

It may be less difficult overall to just cut the part out, remove the pins
one by one, and order a replacement resistor. They aren't all that
expensive.  A lot of time with heat and solder wick can be tough on the PC
board.

Good luck!

Dick, K6KR

Hello,

I am building the KSB2 tonight, and I put a resistor network the wrong way..
Aren't these just resistors? Why would there be a pin 1? Should I remove it?
If so, how do I do that? I have solder wick, tried, but it isn't budging.

Thanks,

Gil.
