First step would be to check for high voltage, since you have audio we can assume the basic power supply is working.
You can still check for HV at the 1V2 using the screwdriver method, you just have to hold it near the connection at the base of the 1V2 where the output of the Flyback connects.

it seems that's my only option right now, which is to check for H-V.
but the fact that the TV has no picture at all period and someone else on here told me that if the picture tube was "dead" it would still have a faint picture which mine doesn't even have a picture period leads me to think that the picture tube is more than likely still good yet (albeit not 100% after 60+ years) but just that the TV set has either a Low B+ issue or a Low or no High voltage issue.
