Update:
A few days after giving the chassis a bath I powered it up, no popping or snapping this time but the HO tube started glowing purple and then started arcing inside, I replaced it and tried it again, this time I had plenty of HV coming off the anode connector.
Today I put the chassis back in the set and fired it up, I got a nice full raster with strong snow and white noise from the speaker, I'm sure it would work if I had a signal for it.
The CRT seems adequately bright and sharp so I think it's in decent shape if not exactly new.
I need to clean up the inside of the cabinet and button it up properly so I can test it more, maybe when some of my other projects are done.
