See if the heater inside of the original CRT is lighting up. Many sets have loose CRT plugs and the pins often had poor soldering from the get go, so things start moving around and you get intermittent connections. If the plug is loose, then you can move it gently and the heater will light up, or should. You can then re-solder the pins and re bond the plug to the glass with a suitable adhesive. CRT rebuilders' of late used a silicone based material, but I'm not sure exactly what it is.
Either way, you don't want to leave a loose plug that way because you will eventually break a conductor possibly at the glass and you will be really messed up....
