RCA CTC5 Special advice

I picked up a RCA 21-CT-7837 yesterday with a dud tube. Filament is open, but getters looked good. Tried rewelding the filament this afternoon. Got some flashes but wouldn't hold. It's got the original 21AXP22.

It's missing 3 of the legs, and the RCA/Special badging on the front. I'm debating whether it's better as a parts unit, or to try and find another CRT. Chassis is clean, but transformer and flyback haven't been tested. Cabinet has some scratches/dents, but it's a solid 7/10. Advice is appreciated
