Thanks for the feedback!

I am still on the clock at work but took a break to check R8 and I am seeing 
3.98K ohms, so the 4k resistor seems intact. Later tonight when finally done 
with work I will tear into it to look at the fuses and other resistors, confirm 
there is REALLY 220 v getting to the unit, and anything else that comes up.

Thanks all for the ideas!!!!
