Need help identifing and fixing Majestic 17" tv

I have recently bought a really old and cool Majestic tv. It's a 17" tube and heavy. The only thing I can find so far for a model is model 70 (leatherette). And nothing on Google comes up for that. I can only find the 170a which looks similar but not it. I love the looks of this tv. I want to repair it but need help. When I found it in a antique store it was $35. Too hard to not buy. The seller did try to power it on and had a note on the tv. The note was made a loud buzzing and small flicking light on screen. I figured it would be easy to fix. Arching flyback and General resistor and cap replacement. The flyback is great looking. But the outlet on the back of the tv is shorted out. Both plugs have about 1.5-2ohm resistance(the phono motor outlet. Not the plug coming into the set. That's cracked but not shorted yet). There is a blown out what looks like a mov on the outlet(phono motor plug). I don't have a picture of it because I don't want to flip it right now. If I can't fix it then it makes a great piece for looks. Or maybe gut it and try to add like a tv inside the cabinet to keep looks but upgrade it. Have the DVD come out where the brass door for the front controls are. I thought that would be cool. Saw it on tv(my hero)
