Okay, I went out and bought all the resistors (ceramic) and installed them on a new terminal strip then fastened the strip to the chassis. I'm fairly confident I did this all properly but the same resistor (270 Ohm) started smoking and burnt up again.

Originally I was hoping to just recap this radio since it was working for over an hour when I first brought it home. Should I just stick to that plan and re-cap the whole thing and then try plugging it in again? I wanted to fix this problem and get it working again so I could replace a few caps at a time and then test it each time (as confirmation that my work was done correctly)

If I post this bit of schematics would anyone be able to tell me if there's something I could check or where the problem might lie? I hope this isn't asking too much because i also wanted to ask why on my schematic some of the tubes have a lead with the letter 'B' next to it. One of the tubes has a letter 'A'

I'd also like to thank you all for your patience with me, as I indicated I'm really new to all of this and trying to learn as much as I can.
