I bet the CRT is still good. Once you've determined its bad start that search. Here is a good starting point but the CRT tube type and number will be needed. Many were interchangable also, the number is shown in the schematic that hopefully your Grandpa can help you learn to read. The schematics are available at a place called Sams Technical Publishing by PDF(Google it & use model # to find exact schematic). Tell your Grandpa and he will know about Sams. What he may not know is that they are available immediatly online for $7. You also may want to ask here if someone has one already. If so they may be familar with this set and that kinda help will be invaluable. I am not unfortunately.

The CRT type number is something that probably starts with 21 and ends with P4,
or P4A, or P4B. 21 is for a 21-inch tube, it could also be 19, 23, etc. Good luck
with the project, others have done it, still others (like me...) hope to do it
some day!

I talked to grandpa today and he says that if i was getting static then hes sure my crt is still very usable. he has the tester and rejuvenator incase i do need it though. he also said he has the schematic for my set. some service he was in back in the day sent him all the new schematics as new sets came out so he said he should have a schematic for about everything from the early 80's back, some of them are still sealed cause he never needed them. And he said he should have any tube i need for that set, he has 100's of tubes still nos in the boxes.
