As you know, I'm building my second NorCal kit presently,
the "original" Sierra.
Anyway, I never said anything when building the 38 Special,
but it came complete except for the 1N914 diodes. Now, the
Sierra seems to NOT have these same components? Strange?
Coincidence? No, conspiracy, I say!
Anyway, I was reading NA5N's article about curing "thump"
in some NW kits by substituting diodes as some kits were
shipped with leaky diodes. Perhaps NorCal is doing me (us)
a favor here?
I have lots of these diodes (new) in the junque box, so it
is no sweat, but I'd like to get to the bottom of this :)
