Panasonic CT-1310M keeps blowing horizontal output transistor

I found a 12k Ω resistor (R804) in the power supply with paint peeling off. My multimeter says it's actually resisting 73000Ω.

My bad, I miscalculated the multimeter readout. It's actually 3550Ω, which is way short of it's original value of 12kΩ.

Remove one leg and measure again, to be sure (if you don't tried to measure this manner). Possibly some other resistors are in current measuring path.
