Default Philips G23T210A

I have acquired a Philips G23T210A dual standard b/w set dating back to about 1967. Its a bit more recent than I like to go for restoration projects but I couldn't resist because this was the same type of TV that we had as our first ever family TV . As a family we came to TV rather late. I was about 14 when we got it.

Has anybody any experience of this chassis. The CRT will be an A59-23W (or maybe -11W) I expect. I still have the original service sheet that came with our set. It is somewhat minimal so I have bought the full service manual from one of the outlets that we all know and love.

Any "do and don't" tips peculiar to this set would be appreciated. My main concern is whether the CRT will be OK. This set had DC restoration, and I have heard it said that that drove the CRT into more beam current thus reducing cathode life.
