Synthey Buildguide and PCB scans

I bought the kit without the X-Y-Z PCB (because I left one assembled and tested PCB set from a cloney)

Issue ID	Date	Location	Type	Identified issue	Resolution	related for development	affected PCB version
1	20.july 2023	SynthiA	bug	the X card is in contact with the speaker	options: A: use a other speaker or B: use a Dremel and cut the pcb C: wide the holes that the pcb is in other place		rev1 Synthey from 2023
2	20 july	keybed	tip	decals	use water while placing the decal on the pcb and the case	make a note in the guides
3	20 july	keybed	info	CN3 clock LED info	"This LED is just an option Because EMS did not provide any power LED nor a clock LED on the KS there is no hole for an LED on the DKS case. So it is up to the builder to use this feature or to leave it. CN3 gives one the option to connect the (optional) LED, when mounted or glued to the case. Otherwise the LED can be directly soldered to the PCB (on the upper side)." from Mathias
4	20 july 2023	synthiA	critical bug	the Screw is 11mm instead of 10mm and touch the transformer	use a 10mm screw or mount the transformer on a other place or use a other transformer (torradial )
5	20 july 2023	keybed	warning	make sure you solder carefully the LED - otherwise it can happen you have a short there:	in case you get too close or in contact with the "metal ring" you can use a Dremel and cut the metal ring as your needs
6	20 July 2023	keybed	info	its just a info from a user who used a header/cable for the LED
7	20 july 2023	SynthiA	info	about the panel screws: the screws within the DIN 7991 / DIN EN ISO 10642 The DIN has 90degrees as reference.
8	10/2024	SynthiA	BUG	Wiring guide failure	Connect a Cable from VR10 wiper to Y30 - or your envelope will not work, lamp is off
9	12.Nov.2024	Keyboard	info	The Fan pinout depends on the direction of the PCB Header	that's how it works correctly
10	12.Nov.2024	Keyboard	info	make sure to buy 4 x 10mm Standoffs which fits in the holes of the fan and attach 1mm washers - check the distance. A option can be, to buy 2.5mm Versions instead of 3mm, and buy flat hat screws as described in the buildguide
11	12.Nov.2024	Keyboard	Info	Switch connector	a good way is to cut the header to get more space to the case bottom
12	12.Nov.2024	Keyboard	Bug7Warning	to avoid contact with the Powerswitch, use a Dremel and remove the ring
13	12.Nov.2024	Keyboard	Info	for easing and safety testing.	install a Connector and attach a Bipolar Bench Psu. under full load you need max. 250mA per Channel. (typical 150mA) also, install 2 Jumpers as shown on the second picture (instead of a switch while testing)
