One way to drive moisture out of deep places....is to heat the part to about 150 degrees F and keep it there--for at least 8 hours or so. This temp should NOT be high enough to hurt or melt anything..and should drive any moisture from any windings--all the way through..
Not sure if you have an oven large enough to hold the set--but maybe the chassis would fit in it. But--NO HIGHER than this..or you WILL destroy things !! |

I'm not familiar with the construction of flybacks in European TVs, but your chassis does not look severely corroded, overall. I have seen radio and TV chassis with more surface rust than that, and their transformers were not harmed. Outer appearance is not necessarily a good indicator of a component's internal health. A dedicated flyback tester can check the flyback electronically. I don't know of an easy way to judge whether it might have absorbed too much moisture.
If you don't have a huge oven, you could place a flood lamp near that part of the chassis and let it warm things for a long time (say, a couple of days). Better than nothing, and it might help. I like the appearance of your TV. Vintage European televisions are never seen here (on the West coast of the US), so anything of that nature looks exotic to me.
