I'm sure most TV's did have static focus although my 21 inch Majestic console has electrostatic focus and it is from 1955. Its CRT is a non standard replacement, 21EP4B. Its on its way out. ..... Brightness almost full, slight blooming, retrace lines on dark scenes.
If I never plan to sell my TV, spending 250 dollars for a CRT rebuild might be worth it. The TV is a joy to watch.
