I'll go out on a limb here, and offer a suggestion based not entirely on ignorance: I don't think resistors typically just "go bad" and need to be replaced - more likely, another component, probably a power transistor, has gone bad, and has turned into a dead short (or nearly so), allowing way too much current through which is why it smoked the 100ohm resistor.

I'm hardly an expert on diagnosing power amp circuits, though, and hopefully one of the others here who are will be along soon to either correct or affirm what I've said.

Is there such a thing as "Power Amps for Dummies"? I'd be willing to pay more than a few bucks for it!
