I'm trying to go by memory.
It's well over twenty years ago, since I bought and replaced one.
I know that some of the other make sets, where I found bad multi-megohm focus pots. I quit repairing sets sometime in the early 80's.
Now, I just collect and repair my own sets.

yep I hope its not the 15 meg pot. The pot adjust thru the entire range, which I hope means its ok.

If its the divider I will need to figure out how to connect it to the CRT anode, I am assuming there is a part that pushes out of the rubber cap that I can then solder the new wire to (it has two leads one to the tripler one to the divider)

If it's one of those clear vinyl jobs, remove it from the CRT and you'll see a set screw at the terminal. Just loosen the screw and pull the lead out.

roger that, thanks for the tip.

There were a bunch of different part ##'s for the dividers.
IIRC none of the ones in the solid states crossed to the 800-860.
The 800-860 was used in hybrids. The only difference was
the HV was 30 KV on the SS sets & 25 KV on hybrids, again IIRC !
Someone must have an old Zenith parts book to look it up.

Also be sure ALL the 22-5001 caps are orange. They eat up the dividers
first then the CRT socket. Each one that opens gives you +2 KV
of HV, there are 5 of them IIRC.

Sorry for the IIRC's but its been YEARS & I was on the bench so
didnt have the pleasure of doing may flat chassii !

there are two orange special drops on the side of the fly term board and one round brown one. IIRC there were a couple more orange drops (the specials) on the bottom of the chassis as well. I will take a look at that last brown on the side and see what it is when I pull the chassis for the focus check out.

There's a strong possibility that the caps, on the bottom, will be orange drops, as well. Doesn't hurt to look.
