Hi Nico,
Congratulations on your first soldering project.
Don’t worry, R6 is only needed for the headphone jack. So you only need it if you want to plug headphones in. Maybe it is hiding somewhere in your box.
The wires for the speakers must be insulated, you must not strip them.
When you’ve replaced the wires you should be ready to start playing
Best regards,

In regards to the resistor, the one you have is slightly different to the one mentioned in the build guide but will still work perfectly, I received and have used the same one in my own console.
Hey @Nicodemo, you will be asked to adjust the contrast as soon as you turn the console off.
You can take a look at what that should look like at the end of Chapter 4 of the new build guide:
What is the status of your build? Did you manage to make some progress?
P.S. when asking a question or replying to someone, make sure to invoke them by writing @someone, that way that special someone will be notified via email
