I guess the crt is a given and fairly easy to replace. The hardest part of that is the convergence.

As far as capacitors go I see very few bad ones on zenith sets. I have a feeling the fuse blowing issue is a shorted output transistor or rectifier diode. I have also see situations where something like a diver transistor will randomly short causing one of the output transistors to short. These issues can be tough to troubleshoot.
I agree with you about the caps... I have several 40+ year old Zenith sets that fill the screen and are rock-solid with OEM caps. I think it's some kind of dead short too.

As for the stereo chassis numbers, you'll love this... The paper glued inside the cabinet appears to have been damaged for decades, right where the model number should be...



I can only read a partial number that says: **?**5T24-8N24

It's so brittle that if I tried to move the paper, it would simply disintegrate.
