weird crt tester on ebay
 
item 360081415420 it says it will check signal and anode who has tried one of these. i believe it will only check video signal from the chassis in a crude way.

Hickock Eye Chek
 
It looks to be the same thing as my Hickock Eye Chek. I scanned the instructions which explains what it does. Looks like it might be useful for a quick check for a few problems, but not much more.
