K1 - Filter Board well underway

I have taken the plunge and, in three or four sittings, fitted the capacitors, crystals, relays, and first six (easiest) toroids. Instruction manual is very clear and well laid out. All going to plan, except that the recommended technique of melting the insulation off the toroid wire is just not working for me. So I have reverted to my usual technique of (very) gently scraping it off with a scalpel under a good light. Painful reminder, though, of the effect of passing years; reading glasses definitely essential for this kit :-)

Next step is the remainder of the toroids and a few other components, then fingers crossed for the initial test.
