I have either a carbon film or a metal oxide in stock. Would one of these work? I only ask because of the high voltage and I know that resistors have voltage ratings. I have no idea how much current the anode draws so I am not able to calculate what the voltage drop may be on this resistor. I am sure the current is very low.

any one will work, as long as they are of the same power rating.
From what I understand, they are not there to give any kind of voltage drop, but put in there to act as a safety device if the anode were to ever to happen to get shorted to ground somehow, to protect the FBT and the rectifier.
