I agree on the capacitor. Given the age there are probably a couple

The 26" Sony crt from that era are not known for the best long life

As a result I would suggest that when the estimate is provided that the
picture tube image quality be checked during the diagnosis at the shop.
If the OP is going to just scrap the set, see if any shop is willing to
take it for possible recycling/repair before it gets sent to the
landfill.
