The badge on the cabinet front kinda resembles the Phillips badges on a couple of my old radios.

As noted earlier, any TV of that vintage will likely need to have paper and electrolytic capacitors replaced before it will play reliably and safely. That means replacing a few dozen parts -- rather labor intensive.
This page lists a bunch of TV restoration articles; if you skim a couple, you'll get an idea what's generally required to get this sort of TV working right:

If you haven't restored any tube electronics before, I'd recommend practicing on a cheap tube radio from a flea market or thrift store before tackling a television, which is more complex.
