You should not have just plugged it in, turned it on and started pushing buttons without having checked a few things first. It has been said many times here in VK's forums that any type of vintage or antique electronics, be it TV, radio or anything else, should not be plugged in and powered on without first checking all capacitors and replacing all defective ones, especially those in the power supply. Failure to do this may damage the power transformer and/or other parts of the set. Your TV may have blown a fuse when you first turned it on, especially if the power supply filter capacitors are defective. If you do not know what I am talking about, have the TV looked at by a technician.
