The old "white dot" in the center of the CRT screen is not a bad situation, but it actually should not happen when all components are in spec. often CRT's that had many hours with it will have a light ion-burn in the center.

The dot on power off is normal for some models, there were even articles in 50s Electronic magazines on how to modify sets to suppress the dot.
