84 Magnavox console TV

I am still pretty new to working on TVs and this looks like it is going to be a real challenge for me. I just picked up this Magnavox TV from an auction close to my house and I don't no wy I bought it as I don't have any room for it but I digress. The TV was plugged in at the auction so I truned set on and while the tube was warming up the set power cycled off and on and eventually came up to a very bright snowy picture. There also was little bit of blooming on outer side of picture so the CRT is differently got some hours on it but with britness and contrast truned all the way down you can still see raster in the bright light. Wen I got the tv home I took of the back and blow out the dust. After that I took an RF modulator and DVD player hooked it up to the set. powerd that set on and then it powered cycled a couple times( when it power cycles the led display goes off too). Once the CRT warmed up I got a picture that looks like horizontal is not locking and think the vertical was locking as well but I'm not sure as I didn't leave tv on very long. Also I got out of the speaker a loud buzz or some might call it hum adjustable with the volume control. I did not take a picture of it set on as I was afraid of causing more damage to other components. So I quickly truned the set off. The TV did have an old repair shop tage in side it. Saying that the tuner had been worked on in the past. I do know the tuners on these tvs are known for giving trouble.
