While I'm waiting for some parts to arrive, I decided to build the amplifier board that was supplied with the parts kit.  Here's what came in the kit:

Step 1 of the build was to install the resistor:

Step 2 was to install the diode:

Step 3 was to install the slider switch:

Step 4 was to install the ceramic capacitors:

Step 5 was to install the speaker and power connectors:

Step 6 was to install the audio connector:

Step 7 was to install the 100uF electrolytic cap:

Step 8 was to install the LED:

Step 9 was to install the integrated circuit:

Step 10 was to install the 1000uF electrolytic caps:

Step 11 was to install the potentiometer:

Here's the finished board:

And here's the tools that I used to build the board:

    Ah, but does to board work? You missed the final step. DAB

    Looks like a fun project and you did a great job on the assembly and soldering. Thanks for sharing your post. John

    As a matter of fact, it doesn't work.  The TDA1517 appears to be dead.  The board is only drawing less than a milliamp when on.  I doubled checked the construction and didn't find anything wrong.
