All that was probably wrong with that set was an electrolytic cap in the horizontal drive circuit. There is a cap that will fail and cause all sorts of horizontal deflection problems and this cap will take out the HOT if not replaced. I think you can buy the kit for about $5 or $6 that contains the HOT, a couple of electrolytic caps, and a couple of transistors that fail in these sets.
