Thanks, Avid Nerdlinger for your handy tip. As it happens, The P.C.B. is marked with the component values, and the Chinglish assembly instructions given in the original ad on Ebay (but, sadly, not with the kit) give the colour/function of the I.F.T.s and transistors, so I should be well away with those clues.

Herald 1360, what you say is very true. I think, given the available instructions, a beginner would be very lucky to successfully build this kit without some help from a knowlegeable person.
Fortunately, this project is only being done out of of academic curiosity. Tony.
