Agree with Mr. BeamT.
1) the socket is toast & gotta go. If you open it it will be clogged with green rot & a greasy brown mung. Almost any Zenith from the 70's you can use it.
Different part ##'s are just for lead length, plugs , etc.
2) In the front door there is a "Chromatic" switch Must be OFF ( not orange )
for video problem. G-2 controls ( 1.5 meg ? ) were known for bad spots so
watch for that. IIRC you can use from other Zeniths as long as its the same
ohms & has plastic mounting.
3) 3 caps or 5 ? I remember 5 but the C model may have used 3.
What I think happened was some one changed just 2 of them that were
falling apart to the orange ones. What ever the case keep things as OEM as you can.
