Be careful using plain wirewound resistors to replace the legs of the ballast that the CRT is on. I did just that, and now, every time I turn it on, the CRT lights up bright white until the other tubes in series get warmed up. Must be a few with "controlled heater warm-up time" in the string (of which the CRT is NOT). I'm still looking for a toaster-wire-type ballast substitute for mine as well.
