Also worth reading some restoration articles on Phil's old radios website.

Good advice! Here are a couple of links from said website to get you started:

The second link is a list of TV restoration case studies. Skimming one or two should give you an idea what's involved in making these old sets work. The CTC-11 articles are most similar to your set.

That groovy cabinet is popular with collectors, as you may already know.
