I'd shop around before jumping off into a new CRT just yet. Place a wanted ad in the classifieds and maybe someone has a used good CRT they'll sell you. Or, you might try video display corp. I like old electronics and try to bring as much old equipment back to life as possible; but, I'd have to think long and hard before spending $270 on a fairly common B&W set.
Also, before you condemn the tube, make sure that the CRT socket does not have an intermittent broken filament connection. If that is not the problem, try resoldering the pins on the CRT, assuming it's the type of CRT with the bakelite base and large pins.
