Come on, use your analytical skills. You can find the path from Q10 base to ground.But is Q10's base floating?
R14 was a seat-of-the pants choice. It could be 100k and still work. At 10k, it draws about 70uA when Q8 is on. R13 is also noncritical. It just can't be too small, or it robs current from R16, which provides about 5mA to the base of Q10 (Ic≈50mA, Ic/Ib≈10). R13 also has to be small enough to provide the 70uA through R14, and enough extra to saturate Q9. Since Q9's collector current is only about 330uA, its base current can actually much lower than it is.How are R13 and R14's sizes chosen?
