Looks as if another recapping job is in your immediate future. The 6CA4 is apparantly responding in rectifier duty to a shorted 'lytic somewhere down the line in the pi network it feeds--hence it's getting red with exertion, and a resistor down the line smoking with the same excessive current.
Seems as if this set has led a hard life if the kinescope is not original--and yet close to the edge in testing. You might be able to rejuve it. But it would seem that bringing this set back to life is going indeed to be a labor of love....
Other than that it would appear from the pics that you have a transformered, parallel-filamented chassis with 3--instead of the then often 2--picture IF stages. May be a set worth saving at that...
