Spotted an old Philco at S.A. this morning

From your picture the CRT looks intact, psooibly just the plastic base has deteriorated somewhat.

The base has an index tab, if it was removed and put back on incorrectly the heaters wont light, or worse, they'd blow from having B+ on them!
The socket seems to be in a natural position so I doubt that's the case here.

The plastic yoke cover also looks pretty deteriorated, that's also common but doesn't mean it's bad.
