HV cage open fro business

[Mick AV-8]

Hi,
Went to Radio Shack and the guy sold me a 5.6K and a 1K Ohms resistors and told me to solder them end to end (series I guess) and this should work for my application.
can you confirm?
Gues with all of the tolerances anyways I am not too far off from the value....that too is probably a question.
Looking forward to getting this in there and plugging it in to see if it works.
Not sure if I even need the variac since I have replaced all of the caps and HV cage.
