Hi fellas,

I've got the parts for an easyvibe and was looking at the following layout:

I notice that D1 and D4 appear to be just hanging, not connected to anything.  Is this correct?  I've only ever buily using PCB's or vero so I'm finding the prospect of building on perf a bit daunting.

I'm pretty sure they are connected.  The traces are obscured by the component image.  Take a look at this:

Hi Rick, even on that image it looks like the top of D4 is just hanging free.

Did you go to the very bottom of the pdf?

I thought I'd just clear this up. D1 and D4 are connected - the traces are hidden under the component leads. They go to the longer horizontal trace under the diodes. The same thing for R15 - hope you can figure it out. Check it against the Pnp.

i can clearly see that D1 is connected to D2 in the bottom,and D4 is connected to D3 in the bottom
