That big resistor is part of the power supply, And strangely under it should be a 8pin
Single Inline Chip that regulates the voltage. For that set it may be like 120V to
150V Don't remember... That transistor that is in the picture is probably the
regulator, emitter output. As for the Horiz Width you turned - It may be dirty
And shut down the H Osc. because the wiper had no connection to the
resistor. So first clean those pots, then try it again. And yes that big
resistor running hot is normal. Those were good tv's back in the day....
