dont blow it out, you will endup getting dag everywhere (the flaking stuff on the crt) and run the risk of blowing a fine wire loose. just replace the tube. If you have a variac and a DMM you could monitor the AC line current.
If no variac then a 100 watt light bulb in series with the ac line would be a good idea.
It may just work, but the filter caps may short, in which case the fuseistor will prob go (pic 5 I think).
a softer start up on a variac will give it a better chance, and at least you could monitor the current.
