Thanks for the responses!
While not what I was hoping for, it's what I kind of figured. You're all right. I shouldn't expect to get a hold of a 55-ish year old set in working shape without getting my hands dirty, and I agree it would make the experience a lot more fun. I do similar with computers all the time, so making the switch to TVs shouldn't be the end of the world. I'll start doing the appropriate basics research.
That's great to know about the price, though. For <$50, I think I'm willing to take a gamble, forge a plug, and see what happens. That being said, I'll also keep an eye out for the brightener, and assume a dead CRT if it's there.
