Dud 23VCHP22. Rebuild or toss?

I just junked an early '70's Curtis Mathes solid state TV/stereo combo. The only reason I brought it home was for the tube; but, it turns out to be bad (thanks to instant on, I'm sure). I rejuved it and got the red and blue up good; but, the green didn't do as well. It is a 23VCHP22 with an EIA code of 337 (Westinghouse) and it's a non-bonded type. Would it be worth rebuilding this for a spare or would I be better off just to toss it?

You know, for those CM sets to cost so much in the '70's; they sure were cheap made. This cabinet is all particle board and plastic. The TV chassis was an NEC and I don't know who made the stereo chassis. It looks like they just shoved the cheapest thing they could find in there. IMHO, the '70's Zenith's and RCA's were much better made.
