Yes, that resistor lifting the pot from ground puzzles me too...
I have a feeling that the resistors Ra & Rb after the pot are to be set according to which power amp you have connected - 5-10 or 5-20. Think it was something to do with getting the correct input sensitivity. Long time (about 55 or more years) since I read the Mullard book.
