no picture but tube glows 194? olympic

No picture doesn't necessarily mean you have a bad picture tube. If you know someone with a CRT tester, have them come by and test it. Much more likely is that you need to recap the set. I wouldn't plug it in again without a variac that has a fuse. When you try out a set for the first time, connect it to the variac and bring the set up slowly while watching to make sure no bad things happen. If you just plug the set in, if the electrolytic capacitors are leaky or shorted, you'll possibly wipe out your power transformer and cause lots of other damage. At the very least you should replace the electrolytic cans before bringing it up again.
