[ARC5] R-10 in the receivers.

[AKLDGUY .]

And I want to add that it's not possible to do a simple Ohms Law
calculation of the voltage appearing
at the junction of R-10 and the pot.

As the pot is rotated away from zero, the calculation becomes a complex
dynamic division problem,
with tube current and flow through R-10 dependent on each other.
