Can anyone tell me if the MV has two 100K resistors in the output mixer like the Univibe?

I want to mod the MV by using the instructions outlined in the article as per RG Keen

“Trim the Phase Mix

The depth of the notches in a phaser is what makes things sound interesting, and that depends on the dry and delayed signals cancelling in the output mixer. In the 'vibe, this is done by the two 100K resistors feeding the "chorus" side of the chorus switch. If the gains of the dry and delay paths are not almost identical, the mix will not give you good depth. The trick is to make those resistors balance the two to give a good null. You do this by changing one or the other resistor to more or less than 100K to get them to balance. The simplest way to do this is to change both resistors to 68K, 75K or 82K, and then use a 50K pot with its outer lugs connected to the resistors and its wiper connected to the chorus switch. This lets the resistor increase one of the "100K" mixers and decrease the other to balance the mix. +/- 25K on each resistor is usually plenty to get good, deep phasing when adjusted by listening while tweaking the pot. You can leave the pot in, or you can set the pot just right, then measure the resistance of the pot plus fixed resistors and solder in fixed resistors to match the measured values.”
