It's been a long time....ge a52 question

[stusnyder]

Hi all,
Been a long time since I was last here. Alot has happened. Moved, took a year to get the house livable. Work, ect. Last November had a brain tumor removed, got lung cancer. Wife said sell off some radio's to help pay medical bills.
Enough about me, I'm working on a nice GE a52. everything is ok till the speaker gets hooked up. At that time, according to the diagram, I believe resistor r10 (1000k) burns up. Any clues as to where to look?
Thanks in advance,
Stu
