Hello Robert, it's looking good, I use the same polyprops and those same type resistors, on one job I did I found that the old Erie resistors (the ones in ceramic tubes popular in the 50's) will pull apart leaving just the tube but it generally takes some heat to achieve that, once the tube is cleaned out they will take the .7 watt resistors, I think they are Welwyn, I got mine from Farnell, I applied a dab of super glue inside the ceramic tube and then inserted the new .7 watt resistor filling the ends of the tube up with Araldite with a bit of brown colouring to match, for that particular job I then painted the body of the tube with a light cream paint then marked the resistors value on it with a fine black permanent ink marker, it would also be possible to re paint with the original colour code. I find the 2 watt and .7 watt ones that I have described are just the job for valve stuff as I think they have a 300 volt plus rating.
A general safety note that if using a blow torch to heat those old Erie resistors up the wear safety goggles.
