It seems like I was always one part short of finishing this one for months now. I did the fuzzdog mods changing R4 -> 18k, R8 -> 12k, and the Dwell pot to B25K . For me the dwell change is honestly probably useless, but there wasn't really a downside. One thing I did that might be helpful to someone else was to figure out a way to socket the Belton Brick (just in case). The normal SIP sockets wouldn't work because of the shape of the pins so I bought a 14 pin leaf style socket and cut it down to 6 pins:
Then I trimmed the pins on the Belton Brick down so that it sat as low as it could and stuck a little Blu-Tack in there to hold it in place. It does add a little height, so the pots come through at a bit of angle, but once you tighten things up it comes together fine. Graphically, I originally wanted to orient the planchet the other way, but I didn't feel like dealing with relocating the LED. That was probably a little lazy on my part
