I used an 8ohm 5 Watt resistor, to give a bit of extra surge protection with today's higher line voltages. I also added a fuse IIRC, 2 amp slow blow.
200 volt rating for the 82 uuf cap should be fine, as the 150 k resistor and the 2 33 k resistors in series form a voltage divider network. The total resistance of the divider is 216 k (150+33+33).... 66k out of 216 k is about 30% .... 30% of 265 volts is about 80 volts. When the tube warms up and starts drawing current, the voltage at that point drops about 10 volts more to 70 volts.
