misted C electrolyte

You're thorough and consciencious, and/or cleaning and drying was required in your job.. although consumer crap isn't intended to last for years, which is a fairly reasonable assumption for a typical piece of Tektronix gear.

I've seen decades old Tek equipment that still operated fine, although not as accurately as a freshly calibrated instrument, still perfectly operational.

If this TV gets recycled, in several decades it will have already been numerous pieces of cheaply made consumer crap, sold over 'n over again to somewhat senseless consumers (or it could end up in some space program or national defense weapons equipment).
