What gregg said, It pretty much boils down to the simple fact that there is not going to be one simple fix for a set this age, it will need a full electronic restoration to function properly, this involves replacing all the paper and electrolytic caps and usually a bit of troubleshooting for various other problems that will pop up.

You can probably find someone who would be willing to do the job but be prepared to spend quite a bit because it can involve a lot of hours of labor.

The first step would be to find someone near you who has a CRT tester, if the tube is no good then the project is going to be much more difficult and expensive.

I'm sure a lot of people here would be happy to test the tube and give the set a general looking over for no charge at all, that stuff is the fun part for most of us.

If you want to learn how to do the work yourself we'd be happy to help you out as much as possible.
