Regarding the Canned-ohm resistor network, I replaced mine with 5 7.5-Kohm 5% 3w metal oxide resistors arranged on a terminal strip w/teflon tubing on the leads. This is 50% more power rating than the origninal (~~ 7.5W dissapation on the Canned-ohm network). Math of 500V accross the network comes out to about 7.5W. From the schematic, to me that is all this piece of the circuit is used for; the capacitor leakage test voltage accross the cap being tested; nothing else. When I measured each of the sections of the Canned-ohm one, they were not exactly "close" to each other; hence why I replaced it per the above.
