Now - do you have the schematic for the radio?

Second question - and I am not trying to be condescending in any way, merely asking to find out - are you well versed in reading schematics and troubleshooting techniques?

You need to find out what is causing that resistor to overheat. Something is likely shorted causing that resistor to draw way too much current. Without a schematic (and Nostalgia Air doesn't have the 53-1350 schematic), I would say it is not likely a power transformer causing a resistor to overheat.
