What does the Sams say about the resistor ??
Looks like it goes to the rectifier. If so normally its
a 5.6 ohm 5 watt fusable or there abouts. Also
its a wire wound & I have NEVER seen one change value
only open. If it is open change the rectifier too.
For testing you can pull the chassis & yoke then put
the HV lead in a glass jar. OR get a test CRT. OR get
test sockets that plug in between the tube & socket.
The dag thats flaking needs to be fixed. It acts as one side
of a cap along with the inside coating & needs to be grounded.
Last thought is BEFORE a recap get a picture on the set.
Many reasons why........
