Unless you see video on it's screen don't take 'works' too literally...Many sellers think if the tubes light, or it does anything at all (short of smoking, catching fire or going 'BANG!') that their set 'works'. It is not implausible that a set that old still works, but it is far from guaranteed, and even if it does work properly if it has not been restored there is no telling how long it will continue to work.
On any tube era set if you want it to work for regular use, then you either have to know someone willing and competent to maintain it, or be willing to learn how to maintain it yourself (we can talk you through that if you ask).
