Should I just go ahead and get a new 36 ohm resistor and replace it? Then I'd know it was right.

There might be a loose internal connection in the resistor, or poor contact with the meter leads.
For now, just jumper in the 'lytics and see what the set will do. If the tubes light up OK, proceed further.
BTW, the HV rectifier is the only tube that is not part of the series string. It receives it's filament voltage from the winding on the flyback on a properly working horizontal output stage.
