Definitely get all of the tubes checked in the set. This was one of biggest of many mistakes I made on my first TV. Now testing every tube in the set it the second thing I do behind general cleaning of the chassis. I load up a shoebox with all the tubes and head to my local vintage radio shop where he can test all of them and replace any that are bad or questionable. Maybe there is a shop in your area that works on vintage stuff that can do likewise.
Oh and have fun with your set, don't get discouraged, ask many questions. The people here are an amazing wealth of information and always ready to help.
