true, but this board uses 99% salvaged parts.
Only the SMDs are new stock.
The one resistor makes routing easier, and one is none, right?

more passes did the trick.

it must be aligned at the edge of the PCB, as the toner shrinks the paper.
If i have holes in the center previously aligned they will be pulled off 
as soon
as the LE is fed. I think a toner line at the pcb edge will do the trick.
