New power resistors

The new power resistors arrived today and I swapped them out with the ones I originally had on the board.

It may seem like a silly detail but I am so much happier with how the new ones look.  The previous ones had been bothering me ever since I put them in.

(edit: I just had to replace the new 1K resistor with another new one.  I just double checked it with a meter and it read about 10M to begin with, and kept climbing the longer I kept the test leads on it.  I’m pretty sure I checked it before installing it, so I guess I damaged it while soldering it.  I was extra careful with heat-sinking the leads on the latest one and it seems fine)
