Welcome to the forum!
The cataract can be repaired, but you have to remove the tube to do it. First put a CRT tester on it, to make sure it's got enough emission to make the cat surgery worthwhile. If not, look for a replacement. To remove the cat, set the CRT face up in a plastic trash bin. Next step varies by method chosen, but I slowly insert wood wedges around the perimeter between the faceplate and tube till it pops off. It can take days for the PVA to release it's hold, but eventually it will let go. Others place the tube face down in a bath of water and let that do it's thing. One tube I broke the glass front off with a screwdriver, but I don't recommend that unless you like glass everywhere...
