Locate all the display board components and the two sort cards. Observe all antistatic procedures. Use the faceplate as a guide and cut the two black plastic gaskets to size. The resistors are installed vertically so only one lead needs to be bent. Following the manual and install all of the resistors. Bend the leads slightly, solder, and clip the leads. Install the little blue trimpot, capacitors, and diodes. Solder and clip. Get the special temp sensor from the black antistatic box. Install on the solder side of the board.
The temp sensor is tricky so be careful! The polarity bump is very small so get a magnifying glass to help. Put the last test point clip on the board and solder. Install the two socket cups for the EL backlight from the solder side. Cut the red and white wires with the crimp connectors on them in half. Insert into the white terminal housings noting polarity. Twist the wires together. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the ends and solder to the display board. Follow with the colored ribbon cable. Clean and inspect all solder joints.
 
Place a gasket into the face frame, followed by the antiglare plastic lens, the other gasket, and the LCD screen. Clean and install the two zebra connectors. The EL Backlight comes next with the pins in the upper left of the faceplate. Install the display driver board ensuring that the two backlight leads go into the two sockets. Use 6 screws to attach the board. Screw them down to they all just touch, then tighten 1/4 turn at a time until they are seated. Install the rotary switch.
Take the other red and white wires with the crimp connectors on them, insert into the white terminal housings noting polarity. Twist the wires together. Strip 1/4" of insulation from the ends and solder to the audio transducer. Remove the "remove after washing" seal. Attach the transducer to the face frame using two small dots of epoxy. Set assembly aside 'til later.
