Assuming the attachment works:

OK, to show what the job is like, I took a picture of a few different sizes of
resistor from my parts box. The sizes are, from left to right, 1206, 0805, 0603, and
0402. Note that the 8-pin resistor pack for the buttons is physically the same size
as a 1206 component, but with four terminals down each long edge the size of
the 0603 component.

The screw on the left, by the way, is one of the M2.5x6 screws that hold an
empeg drive tray in place. This should give an idea of size.

As you can see at the top of the image, I'm using 0402 components in most of my
designs at the moment. The part of PCB you can see is a small PSU board, fairly
low density really. It's about 10x30mm, double sized construction. To hand-solder
0402 parts you need a really fine-tipped soldering iron, tweezers, and good
eyesight. It helps to have a lot of practical experience. (during the
development of the empeg, I think I clocked up about 40K-50K solder joints. Most
worked.)

I had a look to see if I had any of the resistor packs in the parts box, but I don't
seem to stock anything that big at the moment.
