John..plenty of room for the two resistors in there..but what do you mean by the joint?
There are a lot of posts in the ceramic block, most of the leads are wrapped around those posts and soldered. But even in the front there are two resistors soldered end to end.Is there something I sould be most aware of when soldering and working in this HV section?

You don't want to end up with any sharp points close to anything else. If you have room it'll be o.k.
Most of the power will be dissipated in the 5.6K resistor, so it needs to be the full 1/2 watt. Hopefully both are.
It is listed as a half watt. It might have been replaced in the past. Also, 1/2 watt composition resistors were bigger back then just like capacitors. Although the one in the photo doesn't look like a composition.
