I've seen dead looking B/W CRTs produce a nice, focused, fairly bright picture. The best CRT tester is a working chassis.

If you do need a CRT, a 19AP4 isn't terribly hard to find.
I agree, the CRT will likely produce an acceptable picture. If need be, you can put a brightener on it. I put one on my "soft" CRT in my 630TS and it looks excellent.
That's a classic vintage TV by the way. Nice score! I've loved that model ever since a kid seeing it in the Stooges "Census Takers" episode.
