Please, verify my thinking, again!
I need a 39K @ 2 watt resistor. I don't have a 2 watt, but I have 4 - 1/2

I have my 2 watts? I say yes, but...
Sounds complicated. (o:
But yes - IIRC, parallel for wattage, series to add resistance. Sounds
okayfine to me.
Make sure you keep some space between the bodies of the resistors, so
that each can dissipate it's own heat. Side-by-side might add too much
heat.
