The resistor got desoldered, unsoldered from chassis (had to put the iron at 850F), unscrewed and removed. Now I will solder the wires back, see if it still hums.
Sad thing is, it is right on the money value-wise.
The dissipated power is quite large, each of the 970 ohm sections dissipates 3W plus 0.5W the 87ohm section. 7W has to be vented out somehow, plus the sheer size of the 10W resistors. I will try to get them back into the Candohm shell.
While out of circuit, it exhibits absolutely no leakage.
