It's a sensor, this set is a non remote model.

I tried to test teh CRT last night but my B&K tester had the same results as the Admiral, nada, so I tried a Sencore, same thing but I don't trust the Sencore at all because I haven't really used it in 30 years, lastly I tried my Accurate Instruments Tube Tester, it's primarily a tube tester but it does have leads for testing the basic CRT types.
It took a little warming up but it did crawl up into the good range on this tester so I'm assuming it's at least usable.

I'll have to check into the chassis a little more, the corrosion issue doesn't seem to be as bad as I first thought, the speakers and brackets are the worst.

If nothing else I'd like it to work when I take it to the Thrift Store, then it'll have a chance to survive as a TV not a Fish Tank, not that the flimsy cabinet would support a tank anyway.
