Here is your schematic and parts list: http://www.nostalgiaair.org/PagesByModel/590/M0007590.pdf You should be able to identify the component by where it appears on the schematic.

:hello, I want to re-cap a GE 114W but I am unsure of one device,it appears as brown with 3 red lines on one end and I believe they are seperated by 2 brown (which may be the covering color of the device) or brown, I believe it is a cap and I am afraid to try and turn it to see the other side for it might break. There is no writing as far as I could see, it also appears to be some sort of plastic (not the typical yellow/brown paper type, can someone give me advice on what to do with this one, is it a cap? and what do those red lines represent? I am unable to copy and paste photos into this mail, if someone knows how do do it please also let me know.
:thank you so much.

You may have a bumblebee cap which are usually leaky. They are called that due to the stripes. Caps use the same color code as resistors. Red, Red, Red would mean .0022mf but I didn't see this value on the schematic. Can you identify it's location on the schematic?

The parts list shows R8 as 330 ohms, 2W - which conflicts with the schematic. Measure the resistance across the component.

:Norm, one end goes from the 50l6gt tube pin 4 and the other end goes to 35z5gt pin 8, I am having a little bit of visionary problems but this is how it is set up in the radio from underneath.

:That would be R8, a 2.2K resistor. Look at the schematic, and see if you agree.

That's a 2,200 ohm (2.2K) resistor. R6 in the schematic. Use a 2.2K @ 2 watts for replacement. This resistor will overheat and burn when something else in the radio draws too much current, usually bad caps.
Both sections of C13 should be replaced. You can use individual, modern 33 or 47 mf @ 160 volt caps as replacement.

If so, that resistor is close enough. You can leave it alone.
When you view a pdf document in Adobe Reader, you should be able to zoom in. That's what I did to read the schematic. Even so, I thought is said R8, but Norm must be correct - it's R6?
:The resistance is 2.445 to 2.56. That is simply amazing that you can see that schematic so easily, I overlooked it looking for a cap. Should I change automatically? There are also 2 others but do not look the same as that one, they are brown with slightly larger ends, it looks like the wires do not come directly out of the ends however but are close. they do not look like the standard tiny resistors, should these be changed also? they all show resistance.
:I could not thank you enough.
