I don't know what you are talking about on the first picture there. Everything looks about right. You you break the CRT you would have just about thrown your money away.
Many chassis are bolted down with 1/4-20 screws inserted from below the chassis.

Well someone has been messing with this set previous to me buying it. I don't think it was a cap. I think it was what is discribed below.

On Zenith's with above chassis terminals you want to clean off every speck before power on or things could short and burn up. Best thing to do is remove the CRT, clean off all the old loose dag, mask off the areas that aren't supposed to have a dag coating, and spray on a new coating of Slip Plate to replace the old coating/seal the old coating where it wasn't yet peeling.

Thank you,that is some good info. I fear damage is done. I think it was that coating that was in pieces all inside the set. I found a piece big enough to see that it had two factory made holes.
