Is this a old resistor?

Is this burnt component an old resistor? If so what type should I replace with?

its on a Robyn T123 coming off of multi section capacitor.

Yes, burnt resistor. You have to figure why it burned out and likely is supplying a failed capacitor. If so, you have to replace the capacitor & resistor. I will look for a wiring diagram. You have soldering skills, right?

UPDATE- Your picture is a little too close and the yellow writing masks the wiring. It looks like the 100 ohm three watt resistor feeding the 47uF capacitor. Replace resistor and that 47uF capacitor. I would appreciate a picture showing the general area.

Hello, yes the resistor is coming off the multi cap 350v 47/47/47uf . I found the schematic online I believe your correct it looks like a 100uf. I’m going to desolder the connections to the caps and test them.

thank you

No point to testing the electrolytics. One section has already shorted an toasted the resistor. But the chemistry inside an electrolytic cap can cause a new insulating film of aluminum oxide to form on the metal inside the cap, even after having shorted once. Testing it at low voltage will not reveal a problem, but when full voltage is applied, they tend to break down all over again.

Age has caught up with at least one section of that filter. This tells you that every electrolytic in the radio has either reached or is close to its "use-by" date. Darn shame they don't print that on them, like a half-gallon of milk.

But a cap that tests good can easily break down under full operating voltage.

Like trying to patch a head gasket with a crack in it. Might work for a while at most.

Might not.

Thanks for the great education I appreciate it, love this site and the knowledge shared by folks like you! 
Normally when I purchase and old radio the first thing I do is change out the electrolytic caps. I was instructed to do that by a tech I met years ago.

Replace the capacitor connected to resistor to verify radio works. Once verified working, then do not power up again until you replace all electrolytic capacitors.

Will do thank you
