[K2] R1 and D4 connecting?

[Radio Station]

Since its a Saturday, thought I'd try here. I'm on the front panel board of
the K2 and my eyes are playing games with me today.

On pg. 24, a diode for D4 was installed.
On pg. 26 a 5-k linear-taper R1 was installed.

After installing these two and looking from the bottom side, it appears as
if the center of the three leads from R1 and the left lead (band end) of
the diode on D4 are so close together that they can touch? I didn't look
too closely on these before adding R1 and tried to wick off any soldier,
but my eyes are playing games on me today and I can't tell.

I was hoping someone could confirm. Any help much appreciated.

Lane,

The center (wiper) contact of R1 is indeed connected to the cathode of
D4 - refer to the Front Panel schematic and you can confirm that fact
for yourself.

The schematic shows that D4 is connected to the wiper of R1. So yes, it
is supposed to be like that!
