        That's probably OK. I think the monitor manual specifies "28V
Zener Diode" as the replacement for those. The 1N4750s I got to replace
them were actually blue in color, and in a different package than the
original. So, I wouldn't worry too much.

        All your other hunches seem OK. I've never installed a Zanen kit
on one of those monitors (I just replace what's bad) so I don't know which
POT you're referring to...
