Gary, I am far from technical when it comes to this stuff as I am sure you
can see by a lot of my questions! It was just a fluke that I tried this out
of boredom. All I know is that it works. Take the resisters out, and GF
pops.
The resisters are similar in appearance to these >

Maybe it works because, in my ignorance, I didn't know it wouldn't😉
