The 122 on the CRT label is probably the date the tube was made, the 22nd week of 1961, the set probably followed soon after.
It's absolutely worth fixing, provided the CRT is good, most of the large screen sets I've seen from that era had weak tubes, they got watched a lot and from the dirt I'd say that one was watched a lot too!
First order of business it to get, or find someone nearby with a Picture Tube tester, if it's OK then you could proceed with the restoration, if it's not you might be able to find one but the 24 inch tubes are very hard to find.
It really wouldn't surprise me if it works at least somewhat right now, Magnavox sets were superbly built.
