NES resistors

This is S. Mulletman, but I didn't bother signing in. Does anyone know the values of the resistors on the NES controller board? I think one them is different, but I need to know all 8 of them. Thanks.

The sample chapter from Ben's book wrote: 1. Get the following parts:

* Two 4021 ICs from NES controllers.
* A PC board (Radio Shack catalog #276-147).
* Sixteen 10K-ohm, 1/4-watt resistors (Radio Shack catalog #271-1335).
* Twelve 6-mm tact switches (Digi-Key part #EG2495-ND,www.digikey.com). You can also use any small switch for the buttons/directional pad.
* Some wire.

Since the Nes and Snes controllers are so similar, then they ought to use these same resistors.

Sorry, I was really busy, and didn't even get to check this topic until just now. A couple days ago I just went and used 8 39K resistors and they work perfectly. I'll try to get pictures of what I'm doing when I'm done. I won't post again for a while, so I'll just say for now that it's an NES Punchout!! VR controller. Later.
