The 131 ohms will affect the warmup time more than the operation. The resistor should be a couple of ohms hot. The best way to verify that is to check B+ and/or 6.3 volt filament voltages. If they're OK, the resistor hot-value is OK. Of course with a piece missing it will have lower power capacity and ultimately shorter life. If you only use it occassionally, you may never notice.

The CTC9s and 10s were good products and were the fisrt generation of reliable and serviceable color TVs. I believe the main difference is the addition of the service switch and improved vertical circuit on the CTC10. I could be off a digit.
