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

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.
