Old Muntz TV for sale Locally to me, Should I pick it up?

OK so I'm working on trying to get the picture so its better centered again and so that the picture fits within the pitcure tube mask which I basically took the mask out of the front of the cabinet and taped it to the picture tube so I could get an idea of how the picture should look and I'm still not having much luck getting the picture to center properly in the picture tube and mask.
I'm still having problems with the neck shadowing issue and can't get the neck shadow to go away.

Does anyone have a picture of a correctly adjusted round picture tube so I can see what it should look like properly adjusted?

Also I'm having problems with the HV Rectifier tube's anode cap breaking off the anode lead for the HV rectifier tube, and no matter how I solder it on it keeps getting bent to the point that the wire just snaps off the anode cap.
Its just a metal spring clip by the way which doesn't seem like a good design, especially in that application.

Anyone have a fix for that?

OK Well I finally got the picture fixed on this thing, but now I can't get the darn chassis back into the cabinet.
For some reason or another the vertical output transformer mount keeps catching on one of the vent holes on the bottom of the cabinet.
No matter how many different ways I try to insert the chassis into the cabinet I still end up with the vertical output transformer mount snagging on one of the vent holes on the bottom of the cabinet and because of that I can't get the chassis to sit right in the cabinet in order to line up with the mask and the knobs to line up with the holes they go into.

Does anyone have a better way of installing the TV into the cabinet so that I don't have to worry about the darn vertical output transformer snagging on the cabinet?

Maybe a thin layer of cardboard between the chassis and cabinet would allow you to position it easier, then when it's where it needs to be remove the cardboard. I don't quite follow how it's possible for vertical transformer to be hanging below the chassis, unless it's an aftermarket replacement. Possibly the bottom wood is warped upward.

Well the vertical output transformer is bent just enough that it protrudes below the bottom of the chassis and I've tried to bend it back into shape but it don't work it just bend's back.

And the mounting bracket for the vertical output transformer is also where one of the chassis mounting screws attaches to hold the chassis into the cabinet.
