How long can I resist taking it off again?

I was just reading through all the Signal/One newsletters in 
hamanuals.com.
I came upon this gem in the July 77 issue:

PROBLEM: Poor audio quality when RF gain is advanced.
SOLUTION: Not related to AGC!  Condition is caused by too much 8.8Mhz
signal from the I.F. to pin 493 on A9, AGC board.  Measured value in one
case was 450mv p-p instead of the proper 100mv.  To reduce the value to
acceptable limits R19 was shunted with a 47-ohm resistor.  The BFO
voltage should be at least 5 times greater than the detected signal or
fuzzy audio will result.

Wow.  My radio has *exactly* this problem.  But where is R19?
