Shitsnap! My mouser order arrived

I came home to a box full of component fun stuff to stuff into my hungry pcbs. Not a complete box unfortunately but some necessary junk. I'm an idiot and was a bit too generous with the voltage ratings when I ordered the caps. I ended up getting caps that were waaaay to big for the board I'm putting them on. Shit!




The semi complete Maestro Brassmaster Fuzz. Still waiting on parts. So I got the little transformer which is marked to indicate it is directional, but there is no documentation of this on the GGG build instructions. Not sure if I should chance soldering it in place without confirmation.



Here is the semi-complete Maestro Ring Modulator with some empty holes to fill. I got the 14 pin IC (I think it's a multiplier chip) from http://www.arcadechips.com/ apparently it's really difficult to find. It didn't take Google very long to find one for sale online.

The only thing that I was able to use from the bunk Mouser order was the IC 741 opamp (black square closest to the bottom right of the pic)
