CTC5 Pickup!

I can't tell for sure from the low res pics in the sams, but it may look like the set has many paper caps, and if it does many may be bad and leaky and need replacing, if C142 is very leaky, it could very well have toasted the resistor.

I wouldn't think the ceramic cap C142 would be bad, but I have no capacitor tester. How critical is it really that I couldn't sub in a modern .01 orange drop equivalent?
