Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

The nearest Radio Shack is over 160 km away...

so I'll be doing my shopping online. Just looked at resistors at the Parts Connexion website and there is a dizzying array of them. (The Vishays look suitably hi-fi.) I ASSume that "value" is the Ohm rating of the resistor, right?

Do the resistors have directionality or polarity; ie, is there a specific resistor lead that goes to the outside of the plug and one to the inside? Damn, my electronic ignorance is showing. Now you can see why it would be easier for me to just buy a Phenomena.'-)

And would this work well for soldering?: supermax soldering device

I'll just have to make do with the limited availability of parts and equipment in the U.S. as you have so cleverly deducted. Our country is on the brink of Marshall Law to ensure order in this time of chaos. The panic has only begun to surface. Why only yesterday there was a run on iPods and Apple had to make a hurried nationally televised/streaming video announcement (and XM and Sirius satellite radio simulcast) pleading for people to keep calm, that they will do everything in their power to meet the demand.

Most defectors and lead solder lovers are heading to Canada, the unassuming yet lovable sibling runt of the U.S., although the Federal Republic of Germany is much more accomodating, greeting each and every U.S. citizen with open arms and a free stein of last year's overstock of Octoberfest ale.
