The fact that the picture tube has a full size raster with noise would mean that the deflection and high voltage circuits are working, and that the IF strip is at least partially functional. That would mean that this set will probably respond well to a recap of all the wax capacitors. Can't tell about the sound or sync circuits, but those are usually not hard to repair if necessary (no strange parts).
I live in NJ, too far away from Ohio. No room either...
