Hi Andy

The amp appears to be working properly. 

The leads of the resistor look like they are bent at the end as if it was soldered to surface of the board and not through hole. 

Will be interesting what comes out of this.

From the photo it looks as though it was cut out of whatever circuit it used to belong in.  I've heard of SMT components dropping of boards but it should be impossible for a properly installed wire ended component to fall off. ( I deliberately said wire ended rather than through hole because I still remember tag strip construction).
