The blue haze could mean it's got a load on it, I would be suspicious of a short inside the metal cup on the bottom of the socket, my Zenith Porthole uses the same setup and it was tricky to get it back together without problems.
If the new resistors are too fat they might be arcing, also not sure if metal film resistors will work the same as carbon comp in that application.
You might try just popping the socket out of the cup and see if it works.
