Just picked up my first old TV to restore

I just picked up my first old TV to restore. I worked on TVs some years ago but just recently I wanted to get a older one. It is a Philco 49-1002. I usually deal with tube radios but I got the urge for a TV. I have a few ones but nothing as old as this. I don't have any plans soon for it as it will probably have to wait at least until winter. As far as parts how hard are they to find for this one? It doesn't have the back but I think I can fabricate one. I looked up the sams for it and it is 91 IIRC. My set starts at 92 and I have some older volumes but not all of them. Mine go from 92 to about 15 years back. I looked and found info that it may be in the Riders TV repair manuals but I only have the radio books. I guess that will have to be the first item to find. Does anyone know how hard it is to find a picture tube or the HV coil? Those are two parts I hope to not have to need. Anyway here is the picture of it. Not too bad of shape.
