It's a tripod. It thought I was being clever by throwing a big black dropcloth on the floor to reduce glare. You can see part of the cloth below the TV. If I had slid it back about six feet, it would have worked better. Oh well, it wasn't a serious photo shoot, just a quick snapshot to email to my wife. She's happy with the deal, by the way.
Today I replaced the electrolytics in the cans and powered it up. Plenty of light on the screen and the audio's fine. Horizontal deflection's OK, but vertical only fills half the screen. Vertical tubes are good. I see about half a dozen bumblebees on the sweep board. Those will be the next to go!
