A Hammond #156R should do the trick. As far as intermittent resistance to ground, it's very possible the insulation is breaking down under presence of high voltage, then acting flaky without. If it were my set I'd probably be temporarily tacking in a large wattage 50 ohm resistor to replace the choke and continue to trouble shoot. Ideally you should be bringing up the AC voltage slowly with a variac, or at minimum a dim bulb tester while monitoring the power supply voltage. Highly unlikely your out of the woods, but it's a great start!
