If you find a vintage-TV guy willing to look at the set, it'd be a good idea to ask if he has a CRT tester and an instrument called a "ringer" for testing the flyback and yoke.
It'd be a shame to do a full recap only to find one of those vital organs is bad.

Not to be flip, but I hope that most any "vintage TV guy" has a tube tester on hand. Now the yoke/flyback ring tester he may be able to skate on. Really, it's surpising at the work that can be accomplished without even the most rudimentary equipment such as an oscilloscope.

I know a guy who makes a good part of his living fixing TVs and he never uses a scope. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know how to interpret a waveform. Still, a tube tester is essential I say.
