That set looks pretty filthy inside, but I've seen a lot worse, and still was able to get them going.

If there is no HV you want to keep a sharp eye on the plate of the HOT. There may be no horizontal drive signal from the oscillator, a condition that can cause the HOT cathode current to run away and melt the tube.

Although it pains me to think about it, that set is old enough that a recap may be indicated.
