The CRT looks like it has a very severe cataract. Remove the safety glass, however, and the tube should be fine, if the emissions of all three guns are within normal range. The TV itself looks very good for being 52 years old, although it will need the usual overhaul before it can be used on any kind of regular basis. No telling how many defective capacitors are in there. I wouldn't power it up until at least the filter caps in the power supply have been replaced, although for optimum performance every wax capacitor in the set should be changed.
