Well... I can't tell... is the orange drop tied into the white one? Is that how it is from the factory, or a lazy tech? The orange one is fine, white one is a no-no.
Everything else looks good, altho I see the focus divider is still in there. Nothing to really worry about, but.... they DID tend to go out quite frequently and there IS a tripler with an internal divider you can replace it with when/if it ever fails. You will know if it's bad if you have poor focus.
As for the picture tube, I've only seen ONE bad "Chromacolor" tube in my time. And surprisingly.. it was my Uncle's (the Zenith dealer) AND it was in a flat chassis set.
He obviously got the set new. It saw little use, and then went in storage for a few years. When it came out of storage, it had a dead gun that would NOT take a rejuvination. That had to have been a fluke. Now.. 25 years later...when I come across a Chromacoloer set, the tube is NEVER bad.
