Title: Assembling Cherry stabilizers?
Post by: swornxin on Sun, 08 March 2015, 00:24:25

I have never had to do this before, so I went the way that looked at least somewhat correct.  I can't figure out how to mount them to my plate yet though.  Can anybody tell me if I'm doing this correctly?  I have an extra set if I've messed these ones up too badly.

EDIT:  So what I really need to be doing is mounting to the PCB.  Can someone outline the steps of doing that?

I think they are PCB mounted stabilizers.
You should mount them to the PCB instead of the plate.
Indeed, if you have plate, the plate must support to mount the PCB stabilizers.

Ah, yes.  They are actually PCB, and the plate does allow PCB mounted stabs.  I just have no idea how to install them into the PCB.   :(

I got it, I was trying to put them in the wrong way.  First timers, huh?  Thanks all.
