Well this set is in better shape than the Magnavox, it at least has some life signs.
I took the Variac out to the Van and powered it up, started getting sound at 80 volts so I ran it up to 115 and the HV crackled to life along with a nice bright line (turned the brightness down quickly).
It was only drawing 1.7 amps @ 115 volts with no hum.

I'll have to bring it inside, probably piece by piece since it's too heavy to handle alone, that'll give me a chance to clean it up too.

The dial cover looks like it can be fixed reasonably well, one of the small knobs appears to be incorrect also, probably the one without the brass insert.
