This article explains how to test the filament in a tube for continuity:

That's a simple dud/not-dud test, but that's the info you need to get the restoration started. To begin, I wouldn't replace tubes unless they're obvious duds. The others will likely work well enough to get the TV basically working, and then you can worry about smaller issues.
