Okey its like this mostly i look at the legs. Longer is positief + short -
Thats for most parts.
En de diodes have a mark like a wite line or black line. so you cant mis .

R8 is wrong way around.
Black tip is +

Yeah I am confident knowing the correct end. However I am unsure what direction to place the component on the board given all the examples seem to place the negative (cathode end) to the positive + marker on the pcb - see the differences in my pictures in the last post. How have you placed your D2?

I've no idea why the silkscreen shows the cathode of the diode as the anode. Oh well, I've got a rope of 5,000 1N4148's in an ammo box, so I'd better get snipping. It would have been useful for the board creator to not repeat the mistakes of the original.
