Ah !
Thank you very much Renée,
Make more sense ...
So: 39 K for the IF 1 and 2, input and output.
68K for IF 3, input only.
We need to write that down, now !

Jaques- you are indeed correct the white bands had turned yellow between varnish and time they looked yellow until I scraped some and looked under a microscope! lo and behold WHITE!!!!!
so all are 39K Not 34K
Thank you for the push for reassessment.
