Default Re: CRT is brighter to one side [Hitachi CTP213]

That could be what made the smell! When resistors overheat its normally because something further downstream of it is drawing too much current. Most probably another electrolytic capacitor going short circuit. Just replacing the resistor will likely just burn out another resistor. Have a good look at the circuit diagram to see what is connected to it.
