Those are great TV's. Before you do anything else, make sure the safety cap has been updated to the orange drop. If it still has the white cap (which, I doubt), it needs to be replaced before you turn it on again.

There's an electrolytic cap in the horizontal driver circuit that will cause picture pull-in and eventual shorting of the HOT.

Back in the mid '90's, I bought one of these for fifty cents at a church rummage sale. The tripler was arcing and created quite an odor. After replacement, it was an excellent TV.
