I would swap the tube.
Your first scope was working until it was dropped, the most likely thing to break is the tube.
So, swap the tube and see what happens.
of course you would get that reply from Tek, silly me, their interest is only in the equipment working to specs. Oh no! you mean there's a, what price did you say,service charge?
Don't get me wrong, I used to work for em and they are a quality oreinted company, but you may be able to buy a refurbished one for less than the calibration costs.
The beam adjust controls are analog so whats to calibrate?
OK, "1st Mil-tech", your little pic has brought back a flood of old memories, but I can't sort them out. That was a crystal radio, right? Who made it? As I recall, it was just a tuner and what appear to be other knobs aren't?
The service manual has a 'display adjustment' section. There are quite a few adjustments to be made...like on the time base display board there are 9 pots...Integrate time, Vert vector comp, Horiz gain, vertical gain, vert spot wobble...ect.
Will l have to adjust these? (these are what I was referring to when I was talking about calibrating)

Well I originally paid $6.25 for it. (I got it from a junk room at work...the going rate for electronics is $0.25 per pound). Then it fell and the CRT broke (Snowblowers may look like a good oscope stand, but they really arent).
They also have 2 of those sweet LCD type 4 channel scopes (the TDS series) in the junk room. but they are holding onto them for parts.
I have an internship at GE transportation, so I have a decent income for a college student, but it doesnt feel like I do because almost all of my money goes towards paying for that hell.
