Of course it is worth fixing!

Define "a little work" please.

To me it appears that the cathode bypass lytic on the vert out is probably open. Any original caps in the vertical (the B+ lytic feeding the vert output is another prime suspect) could potentially be causing this...If they have not been changed then change them. If caps are new check resistors and tube(s) in that stage and see if the vert linearity, and or vert size/height do fix it.

I ask if its worth fixing as ive tried a few times to sell it and even at a mere$25, theres absolutely no interest. As for keeping it, i'd like to if i can get it finished. As for the work, more or less just tinkering at this point. The most testing ive done on it in two years. Got a pic up with sound and centered all the adjustments best i could. Caps are all original. Is there a kit i can get or will i have to take down all values and types and get replacements for all?

No kits for sets this old. You gotta order them individually. If you got the schematic you can pull them from the parts list otherwise read them off the chassis. I may have a copy if you list the chassis number. Only paper and lytics need to be changed.

Fix the poor old thing. Its got a nice strong jug.
As far as selling it you have to find the right
person & raise the price ! Then market it.

Do you have anything for that number?
