Standard resistor voltage ratings are as follows

1W = 500v
2W = 750V

5 normal resistors is not enough voltage rating.
I suggest using Vishay VR68 resistors. 10,000 volt rated 1W.

TKS, That is what I was looking for, but was unable to find in all of the types they have to order.

On the way from Mouser.

As always the shipping costs more than the part.

"What did the old one look like as far as wattage. And the schematic didn’t show that resistor that was in there ? "

The old one looked like a 50s-60s 1w part, but the bands were dark and not readable, tested at about 1m, schematic says 1.5, parts list only says (1.5m HV resistor 1w).
