Welcome!

Unless someone plugged it in in the last three months I'd recommend bringing it up on a variac instead of smacking it with full line voltage all at once. Sets this old RARELY work as found. If nothing smokes or blows on power up the most your likely to get is sound, maybe a raster if your real lucky.

I'd test the CRT before putting any money into it as replacements are quite scarce and expensive. Also check that the flyback transformer is not roasted as those can be tougher to find than the CRT.
