Many capacitors in that set have likely gone bad and need to be replaced. Capacitors from that era have a lifetime that is shorted than the age of that set. The tubes are likely still good, tubes last forever if they sit unused for years, however, caps don't age well (some absorb moisture from the air, and they become electronically leaky, messing up the circuits and may cause circuit overloads. Most people in this forum recap their own TV sets, it's too expensive to have a repairman do it, if you could even find one who knows vacuum tube technology.
