Dont worry about the instant on. If all tube chassis I would delete it.
If you are worried about the CRT keep in mind most Zeniths from
this era had it & the CRT's are the longest lasting of any ever
IMHO. Not much heat generated & not a lot of power used.
In theory & my opinion keeping the CRT warm eliminates most of
the hot/cold cycle & expansion / contraction that kills things.
All tube sets especially built on PCB's suffer from extreme drying
out of everything & risk of fire. Thats why cats love to sleep on them !
