Re: FM to AM Converter?
Hi Bob, I soldered the module in last after soldering all the other parts in. To aid construction I placed (bend contacts but do not solder) an IC holder where the FM chip should be (remember the FM chip is 0.1" or one hole wider than a standard DILL socket). So no reason not to get started!
To get things in perspective I have a photo of the two damaged boards with a dressmakers pin!
As already mentioned I gave up on attaching the wire first to the chip as shown. I finally soldered 0.5mm wires to the veroboard the wires hold the FM board in place while soldering.
I soldered all ten pins, only 8 pins are used.
There are opportunities for a couple of wiring mistakes the photos should be used in conjunction with the circuit.
Good luck every one, John.

Reason: Added width of FM chip.
