A couple of thoughts... It sounds like a complete re-cap might save you a lot of headaches later. At least all the rest of the electrolytics, and any of the brown shiny Sprague paper caps. As far as the blue glow, that can be caused by air leaking into the tube, or too much current load across the tube (more likely the latter). That Zenith is a good chassis, but it's still 45 years old, and that technology, while the best at the time, did require a fair amount of babying.
