Hi Dan,
I can't explain this specific resistor but I have seen the use of a switch to apply B+ voltage to screen grids of rf tubes to give a boost in gain to pull in distant stations. The switch was called a range or local/distance switch. Does the resistor connect to the ground terminal of block 9? It may be there to reference the grids to ground when the B+ is switched off. That would make the tubes run as triodes.
