Hi BF and welcome,
In the big scheme of things 3 to 4 megs doesn't amount to much resistance. I think what you are seeing is the IF trap #5 .2mf and coil. Heaters working ok?? Burn out dial lamps??
I resently had a PT-61 that Iwas fixing for a friend and the resistor does generate some heat. Was thinking about replacing it w/a diode.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
