There are three other "hard parts" (auto transmission reference) in a TV that can be showstoppers besides the picture tube - flyback/HV transformer, deflection yoke, and power transformer. The vertical output transformer can also be an itch but those are easier to fudge with a similar but not exact replacement.
Your idea of rebuilding the power supply is a good one (I'd disconnect the chassis and use a dummy load). This will at least eliminate the power trans. Getting the sweep up next is also a good idea. If you can get HV, then fire the parts cannon at it.
