Wound up workin' at a gas station....
I see. Well then soldering in some resistors may be worth my time and effort. Did you say that you have done this with positive results?
Run some extra lead wire out through the port so you can experiment with swapping resistors without taking things apart multiple times. Also makes it easy to take measurements on a new variable L-pad if you decide to go with the measure and replace strategy.
