Terry, you posted in another thread that replacing the 0.25 uF bypass caps helped lower your B-C resistor's fever; is it doing OK now?

I have a plain 20 and a deluxe 20, neither one are restored so I can't comment on how warm the B-C resistor gets. But I would not expect them to get hot to the point of roasting under normal operation.
