That's a pretty good image as a start. Looks like, for the most part, "all systems are go". Probably just a bad cap in the horizontal oscillator circuit, causing it to run at the wrong frequency, or something along those lines. Could even be just a misadjusted horizontal hold. Some of those have a ton of travel-you can tune them from one picture to seven or eight sometimes! Basically, you would turn it in one direction slowly, and it would go out of sync (just diagonal lines) and then keep turning it and eventually it would straighten up again. If you turned it and ended up with 3 images, you know you went the wrong way. Not all controls will let you go that far, though.
But, you really should have the filter caps replaced, at least. For long term reliability all the caps should go, but those filters are the ones that could burn up your power transformer if they short. A new transformer likely would cost more than the set is worth. There are a lot of members in your part of the country (give or take a hundred miles or so! I didn't look at a map) and I would think somebody would be willing to take care of this for you. Best of luck!
