Montgomery Ward console TV (GNB179 28A)

Well today I picked up a Montgomery Ward console TV. The TV is in okay condition I would say 7 out of 10 and I found it a thrift store which is rare nowadays were I live. The TV does power on and first off the picture is dim and if you crank the picture control up all the way the picture does smear. It's probably a weak tube as the set does have a lot of dust inside. I don't have a CRT tester yet but I did buy one. I'm waiting for the postman to deliver it. The tester is a B&K 467 it came with a bunch of sockets hopefully it has CR 23. I'm manly working on the TV for practice as need it and if I can make it useable that would be great.

Here are things I currently know that's wrong with the TV first of the Degaussing doesn't seem to work as outer edges of picture has purity problems. The next thing is the tuner doesn't work right it will receive a single but the picture is all screwed up. I will include video just be warned it's flickery. The TV works fine threw the A/V inputs. The tube is getting better the longer I have used it.
