An installation for manually assemblying electrical and electronic components on a printed circuit board using a display device for optically identifying the respective assembly positions of the component on the board, at least one magazine with a removable position for supplying the required component and an arithmetic unit for controlling the display device and selection of the particular magazine characterized by the magazine being designed to carry all components for a large number of different printed circuit boards and an identification device which is connected to the arithmetic unit to identify the particular circuit board which is being supplied, sending a signal to the arithmetic unit to identify the board so that the arithmetic unit provides the necessary assembly program. With this improved installation, different printed circuit boards having different requirements for assembly positions and components can be assembled one after another without requiring costly delays to select new programs and supply new components.
