Update:
After Moving to a new house the last couple of weeks I dug out the packard again.The transformer I got from peverett is in and I brought up the set on the variac with the HO pulled. Nothing got hot and no smells. I popped in the HO and crossed my fingers.
We have a raster!!!!!
The width is a little lacking on the right side, but the set is all original as far as I can tell. At least now I know I probably won't have to part it out.
