Half screen (you did not mention is it left/right of top/bot,) means either your hotiz or vert sweep is shot.
Good news is, your tube is ok and nothing major is probably hurt badly.
Recap us in order, then tubes check, then test, then alignments (many).

TV repair folks who still know how to align an analog set are in their 50s now, those who can do a tube set are in their 70s.
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.
