Ok turns out the resistor was ok, someone had done a bad job soldering leads on decades ago so when I started making checks at the terminals instead of through the leads I got 52K so I decided to just put new leads on and reassemble. It still did not work so I started checking resistors and not that there were a lot of them but probably 75% were 30-40% or more out. So I changed them and the radio plays fine.

Thanks for the help!
