There may be shorted diodes or electrolytics in the power supply for the TV. I would connect a series lamp around 100 watts in the power line and see if it glows bright and stays bright. If so, start checking for the short in the B+ or rectifier circuit.
Do you get audio from the TV chassis? If not this points even more to a B+ supply problem.
Also check out the circuit breaker if it has one, a lot of the time it goes open and is in the ac from the transformer to the B+ rect. a fuse can sub.

You can do a quick check of the flyback/damper circuit by measuring the voltage at the horiz output plate cap (make sure the cap is disconnected from the tube). I would connect an alligator clip lead from cap to the meter probe with set unplugged. There should be around 400 volts or so if the flyback primary circuit and damper are OK. There is 6kV AC generated at the horiz output tube cap when the set is working right so again make sure the cap is disconnected from the tube when metering the voltage.

To fix the phono, just disassemble the motor, it is very simple, and clean out all the old grease from the motor and the changer mechansism, and re-lubricate.

There may be bad electrolytics in the speaker output circuit on the radio and also check the power supply.
