Bert:
I ordered 100 of the Vishay VR37 series 11 meg as you recommended. Cost was $15.95 plus Priority Mail shipping of $6.85 for 1 pound or $12.45 for 5 pounds depending on how Digi-Key handles the packaging. I still had a bit of a time maneuvering around Digi-Keys resistor search filters. I wonder if they still have a printed catalog?
I think I will log back in and see if I can obtain a catalog.
Thanks Much For The Assistance,
Ron

Hi Ron,
You want to use the Vishay VR37 series (1/2W - 3.5kV max). They are
inexpensive and robust. Although Digikey is out of the 10 Meg size, they
do have over 15,000 of the 11 Meg resistors on hand. These will work
just as well as 10 Megs for this application.
Digikey part PPCHHJ11MCT-ND, price for 50 = $10.73 total
Another good HV resistor (especially for Marx generator charging
resistors) is the Vishay VR68 series (1W - 10kV max).
Good luck and best wishes,
Bert
