know what the value is I can send a photo too, because I do not know not if
my request is send to the right place. thanks for your help gaetanImage

According to the pictures in this thread, both R83 and R84 are 10 ohm, 1% tolerance (brown-black-black-gold-brown). viewtopic.php?t=3273&start=20
In your picture, R67 is ambiguous, it could be 1.5k (brown-green-black-brown-brown) or 15k (brown-green-black-red-brown), both 1% tolerance.

If R83 burned, you should look for the reason before you replace it, or it will happen again.

I don't have a schematic for this. But according to the other thread that I linked, other users have found bad capacitors in the power section. The high-power resistors nearby like R80, and the 2200 uF capacitors in the photo suggest this is a power section. If it is, and if a filter capacitor has failed and shorted to ground, that could easily burn a 10 ohm 1/4 watt resistor.
