In northwestern Tennessee, we had no UHF during the time these sets were common, so I can see how that could have caused extra effort.
To service these sets, we had a felt backed oilcloth that we draped over the set, and then put a sheet of cardboard on that and plopped whichever chassis that had problems --or both chassis-- on top of the cabinet and just connected them up with extension cords! No benchspace lost. The CRT and yoke stayed in the cabinet.
