Actually the resistor was mounted on the top of the 5kV Doorknob capacitor and it measured 50 ohms shy of 1 Meg Ohm, so it drifted down a little bit over the years but its still within tolerance suprisingly enough.

which means that it could be the 5kV doorknob capacitor we'll have to look at next...
