Get a pinning tray. If that fails, get a small fishing tackle box. They are also sold as sewing boxes. Basically you want the one that has 5 rows of 8.
Now, pull the plug as you would normally. Cover all but one pin stack. Very gently tip the plug, and see how many pins come out. If there is one bottom pin, and one master wafer, place the bottom pin in the bottom left of the tray. This is position one. Position 2 is above it, and 3 after that, until the top. Then, continuing numbering from the bottom of the second colum.
- Code: Select all
5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
4 9 14 19 24 29 34 39
3 8 13 18 23 28 33 38
2 7 12 17 22 27 32 37
1 6 11 16 21 26 31 36
That's the order of the tray.
So, you have a bottom pin in 1, and a master wafer in 2 nothing in 3. Now, do the second stack, assume it has two wafers and one bottom pin. The bottom pin goes in 6, the top wafer in 8 and the middle wafer in 7.
See where this is going?
After that part is all done, you should be able to pull the springs and drivers. They go along the top.
Go slowly and carefully,a nd you will have them all in order.
