I would hold off on changing the resistor until you get the radio powered up. Then measure the DC voltage at the point labeled 8.5V and see what you read. Given today's higher line voltage a little more resistance might be a good thing.

The candohm dissipates somewhere around 4 Watts so you will need more than regular carbon resistors ( .05A x 80V drop).

The only critical cap value would be C100A which is the first filter after the rectifier and affects the DC output voltage. C100B, C and D can be larger for more filtering.
