I have one of those Magnavoxes with remote. Mine has a replacement "black matrix" CRT. Mine has a video problem at the moment. The color was good, but the picture wasn't very bright. I was running it and smelled smoke and now I have a blank raster. I wouldn't think the flyback issue would be any more of a problem than the RCA's of that era, altho RCA parts are more redily available. I don't think you can get rid of the green halo, but you won't notice it when the set is on anyway. If the picture tube is bad, U can use any 23" tube. The best one would be out of a 70's Chromacolor. I wouldn't worry about anything until you go to the shop and turn it on. If it were me and the flyback was bad tho, I'd pass. They are too hard to find, and you need an exact replacement on those. In my opinion the best sets of that era in order were 1)Zenith 2) RCA 3)Sylvania/GTE 4)Magnavox
