Nice build. A better technique for that bigger capacitor that is intended to lay on the board: pre-bend the legs. Figure out what direction the legs should bend. Then hold each leg with needle nose pliers right against the body and bend each leg down 90°. Then insert the legs into the board and use a piece of tape to hold the capacitor in place like you did for the amplifier chip and potentiometers. This gets the bend perfect the first time and keeps the bend away from the body of the component. For electrolytic capacitors that isn't a big deal since the legs come through a rubber base, but it is a good habit to have, so when bending legs on a rigid component you don't risk cracking or damaging the body of the component right where the legs attach.

Great suggestion! I realized that would have been a much easier approach after I got done with that capacitor. Thanks for watching!

Could be a busy signal on E.T's phone, i would have bent the pins on the chip and potentiometers to keep them fixed.
