On Zeniths the 1M resistor that is usually located inside the socket often is open.
One way of replacing it without opening the socket (which is backelite and appears to already have cracks so opening it almost guarantees it won't survive it) is the way I did it for my Zenith 9S262.
You could find the topic, from, I think, year 2012.
In essence, I took a surface mount 0603 resistor, which is small and flat, soldered two thin strands of wire to each end, threaded them in the appropriate pins, laying resistor flat on the surface and re-insert the tube. The power dissipation is negligible so this works just fine.
Found it, here it is.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
