You have to restore a TV in stages.
First, you have to determine, what does the set do?
I worked on the very same set, about six months ago. There was a laundry-list of problems.
First, the volume-contrast control was bashed in. Remove the control and reassemble. Was lucky it could be repaired. Try the set again and naturally the horizontal frequency was way off, but you could tune in an image, that was a way off and reasonable sound.
Then the vertical circuit needed recapping.
I worked on these sets when they were faily new. The same problems as today, sixty years later.
