I remeasured the resistor and it's more like 57 ohms if that matters. Initially I stated 50ohms because I thought the transistor was bad and figured 50 or 57 ohms, at that point, it didn't matter because the transistor is shorted; obviously I know better now.
Per my original question, ignoring the resistor, is the transistor I selected as a replacement a good replacement? As for a resistor being included in the transistor, apparently I'd need to either add one or buy a transistor that has one.
What would I have to search for in order to find a resistor included with the transistor?
I don't plan to repair this TV, it's just not worth my time at this point. I gave the boards a quick inspection and didn't see any cracks nor anything burnt. It apparently sat in a damp basement for some time because it has rust on various sections, but, I always take a moment to learn a little something which is why I'm inquiring about the transistor.
