Toshiba 1987 TV - Malformed image

Hello! I know next to nothing about repairing TV's, but I have posted in support forums before! Here is the make/model of my TV: Make: Toshiba Model: CF2047 Chassis: 8772 Manufactured October 1987. And here are the technical specifications: Toshiba America, Inc. AC 120V --- 60Hz --- 1.4 amps max Average Power 77 watts CF2047 (this is merely the model number again) Here is what the image is supposed to look like: Here is what it does look like: As you can see, the image is vertically stretched and is also tilted to the right. I'm unable to see the score counters, and also, when the player character is in the "horizontal upper 1/2 of the screen area," he grows taller. It's really very simple: I bought this for $10 at a thrift store and I'm wondering if there is any way to get the picture tube back to displaying near-correctly. If I can save it, I want to try, because it's just adorable, and it was also made in the era of the NES, which to me feels nostalgic, to play a NES on a TV from when they were new. Anyhow, if you have answers, I got ears. Should I toss it? No worries. Lemme know. Thanks!
