Scott,
I think you've hit on something major here. Replacing that resistor with the correct value should make a big difference. I'm glad you caught that.
I can vouch for the point Chuck brought up on the incorrect wiring of capacitor part 59 - I ran the radio on and off for 2 days, and after having it on for about 45 minutes on the second day...BANG! The cap blew on me. Measuring the voltage across the connection points verified the cap was wired incorrectly. Put another one in wired the right way (contrary to the schematic), and haven't had a problem since.
At this point, I'd recommend double checking the correct values on ALL the resistors - there may be another one lurking in there. Sounds like you're on the right track. Good luck!
