Ah ha! I was throw off by the unusual value of R116 - 5.1 Megohms. I'm
not sure why Wayne or whoever would pick that value, rather than say 1
Meg or 10 Meg.

I think I may have a 10 Meg resistor that I can use as a mechanical
support. But I think I'll wait until after I get some sleep before
trying to salvage it.

Happy New Year's.
