Surface Mount Components in Kits

[Paul K. Dean]

I built an S&S Engineering ARK-40 a while back.  In included a couple of
surface mount caps.  They were a bit of a pain, but the instructions were
quite good so they didn't present a huge problem.  S&S included a spare cap
in the kit.  The instructions said that the spare was included in case you
cracked one of the caps, which seemed to be a common occurance!
