Well, I'll say this: the C-M is a great find, especially in that condition. And right next door, too! It should come back pretty easily-the vertical could be a bad resistor, bad pot, or maybe an intermittent somewhere in the circuit. (or, of course, a tube) Outside of the filters the caps on sets this age tend to age well.

That looks like a CTC-15 clone. As for the lack of cataracts, I would like to see a study determining what conditions caused them to worsen. Moisture seems to be a big part of it. This tube should have a safety glass but I'm guessing maybe it uses the crt with the gasket-fitted glass, not the bonded version. That mostly seemed to show up in less expensive models but who knows?
