Amplifone - help with diode and resistor mod - pics?

So I've been reading the Amplifone faq and would like to install the 5w 50-ohm resistor and diode mods. I've read through them but I'd feel much more comfortable tackling this if I had some good pics of the boards (both sides) where someone has already done it.

Can anyone help provide a couple pics? And tips are welcome too!

Here's my boards as they sit right now:

Your board has the mod already

the 2 x black / gray resistors and diodes underneath

Thanks. I knew about the diodes but I was thinking about replacing them. I didn't realize those resistors were the ones it was talking about though.

Should I replace them all just to be safe or are they generally reliable once installed?

Do you have a DMM? Stick it on the 200 ohm scale and measure them

Should read 50 ohms, if so, no need to replace them :)
