Question on K3 Amp

k0wa@swbell.net

I was looking at all the neat pictures out there of K3 assembly and I noticed a picture of the K3 Amp that has some resistors going from the binocular transformer...across the final transistors....to a solder pad.  Looked kind of goofy to me so I thought I would ask.

 Are those some sort of balancing resistors and why were they placed in such a odd place (to me)?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Those are feedback resistors and dissipate a few watts of power.  They
need to up in the air to allow the power to dissipate without burning
the board.
