Thanks for sending me those shots of your 702 board, and all I can say is it's a mess, but at least the good news is that your not blowing any fuses, which by the way I hope are the right amperage!?

Those 4 added resistors ( paired in series for 39.8k ohms ) with the 4.7 uf cap in the middle to ground should not be there in regards to the schematic for a 702 board, however a 703 board does have a 39k resistor with a cap going to ground.

The 702 board does however have two 3900 ohm resistors.

The first thing I would do is remove those 4 resistors and that cap and then see how the rest of the board looks in relation to the schematic.
Those .22 ohm and .82 ohm white box resistors in series are ok for now, so leave then as is until we this messed up board working better for you!
