Nice set, i'm glad you saved it!
Looks like you're losing the vertical sync pulse somewhere, as it isn't even trying to lock the picture, maybe a bad transistor.
Was the cabinet particle board? if so, how did you manage to put the corners back together? i once restored a rare 1971 Grundig Triumph which spent some weeks in the elements and the particle board cabinet warped and splitted apart, restoring it was a work of love, i had to smash the cabinet apart, i then soaked each board in water then pressed them flat by laying them between the concrete floor of my garage and a heavy plywood sheet and then pressed them flat by leaving my car parked on top of the plywood sheet for a couple of days.
Then i glued the joints and put the cabinet back together using several roof rack straps under great force.
I also had to replace rusty trimpots and to wash the entire chassis with a PCB cleaner to remove the whitish corroded solder flux, then had to take the mechanical pushbutton tuner to its component parts to remove the rust and put it back together.
It looks very good now but not perfect, i had to put some filler in the corners as there was no way to put them back together perfectly.
I also found several other TVs after a severe flood struck near my town but these spent a few days under muddy water and were only good for parts.
