Got it running.
Did some poking around, checking voltages here and there (though I had no idea what they should be) when I touched my test lead to the large transistor on the Horiz board the set came to life with a loud pop of high voltage!
I had to poke it a few more times to get it to stay running but apparently the issue is just a cold solder joint on this transistor.
The CRT tests like new on all three guns and the cutoff is even on all three, hard to believe for a set that obviously has seen a lot of use.
The picture is pulled in on the sides just a little and the tint range is a little off to the green side, (also the tuner is very dirty, I had a hard time getting it to tune to channel 3 for the pictures) so it could use a good tune up but with such a great CRT this set should be worth the effort.
