From the project
Iskra Delta Partner motherboard DIY plans and instructions
Unless noted otherwise in the comments, we used 1/4 W resistors with a tolerance of ±5%.
Unless specified otherwise in the comments, we used 1 kW ceramic disc capacitors. We chose this power rating because the physical sizes roughly match those of the original capacitors.
The original jumpers and pin headers have a termination post length of just over 3 mm and a mating post length of just below 7 mm.
