Wrong analogy. The balloon is full of pressurised gas and in every point
within the balloon the pressure is the same. The Earth is solid, which
melts after someway down, then again becomes hot solid, then cold solid,
then very cold solid at the core, cold enough to support superconducting
currents.

 
I hadn't figured out that system before.

Then don't.
You have allowed yourself to be misled by our resident nutter.
The pressure in a balloon in NOT the same at every point.
There is a pressure gradient.
In fact, that pressure gradient is precisely the reason why it floats.
It took a real genius, named Archimedes, 2500 years ago,
to see that.

Okay, I can imagine the the center is slightly less compressed
than what surrounds it. 

I'm sure you can imagine it, if you have practiced enough with Alice,
but it is impossible nevertheless.

But you seem to imagine that heat and pressure are not
transmitted toward the center.  Over millenia, the center will
approach the temperature of what surrounds it. And the pressure.
Equilibria.
 
But the planet is cooling.

Not. It is in a quasi-stationary state.

The center can only lose heat through the surrounding layers.

Correct.

So whatever max heat was reached by the center, it will be the last to be
touched by the cooling of the planet.

More nonsense.
Hint: there is radioactive heating throughout,
