Perhaps, but make sure you have a fused variac and keep an eye on things. Those old black beauty/bumblee caps are likely to start popping. Personally, I usually shotgun the caps and test individual components like the yoke, flyback etc. All those old paper caps are going to be leaky. Likely some of the electrolytics are leaky or bad too.

How exactly did you ruin the GE ? Burned out parts can be replaced if you fried something accidentally.
