Ooh! Now I remember why I was uncertain.

I didn't know if the wire leading to the antenna was a signal or ground wire (though I assumed it was a signal, if it were a ground wire, the description could be interpreted to mean placing the resistor inline), and I didn't know if the rest of the connections were to remain the same, only adding the resistor, or if I was supposed to rewire it so that the antenna wire was connected to the ground by way of the resistor, dropping some other connections.

I know those sound like asinine possibilities, and my assumption was what ended up being correct, but I don't know much about power electronics, and we are talking about connecting power and ground together (I know -- with a big ass resistor in between) on an out-of-warranty machine I have very little way of replacing.

The diagram certainly makes it clear.
