Hi, John-

Since I am the fellow who provides the pre wound toroids, I would like to
offer that I do include a note with my K2 sets instructing the builder not
to pull the leads too tightly while installing K2-T2 . Its design is a
little unusual insofar that the toroid is spaced slightly up off of the
PCB, its green secondary leads hidden under the core. I tin most parts up
to or onto the core itself, and with this part care must be taken not to
distort how the lengthy green leads are positioned since this could result
in pulling some enamel into the PCB.

73,
