I decided to change the resistors used.
A large load resistor was added at the output so that output voltage is not affected by a small resistance at the load.
Resistances of the resistors connected in series to path to circuit ground from output were changed because resistances of 1k,10k,50k,100k in parallel with a 1Meg ohm resistor at output gave a more linear relationship between output voltage and resistance at output.
The total cost of making 5 pcb prototypes would be TBD not including shipping cost and not including tubing to contain pcb prototype and push button when bent.
