Took another look at the set (Zenith 5317U) this evening. The IF strip is (6BZ6)=>(6BZ6)=>(6EJ7).
I've had this thought about avoiding the stress on the CRT from forcefully pulling the CRT plug off.
Would it make sense to sever every one of the wires going to the plug, marking each wire at both side of the break for identification, pulling out the chassis (and/or testing the CRT) with the plug in place, then stripping the ends of the wires and joining them back with wire nuts when finished?
I've been thinking about this for some time, as I have another set (B&W, so not on this subforum) with a disintegrating yoke, but I may need to remove the chassis to replace caps behind it,
BTW - The story of my roundie continues on another thread "Zenith Roundie in Detroit"
