My bet is on the detector diode too. I've had a bad one in a VT-71 before and I've seen others have it go on that model too.
I'd just snip the leads fish it out then do the soldering to reduce the chance of overheating or physically damaging the other parts there.
The nice part about the video detector is that unless someone decides to open the can it's in for some reason nobody else will ever see the modern replacement.
