Find someone with a CRT tester/rejuvenator, and check the picture tube; it may not be as bad as you think. If the tube is low, it might respond to rejuvenation.

I had one of those when I was a young teenager. They are FULL of "black beauties" and paper capacitors, so you have some recapping ahead of you if the CRT checks OK. And another thing; with the power on, be careful around the plate cap of that 6CD6-G.... it bites!
