no affiliation, and no idea if it's good (don't see a getter flash).

Looks like it's been through a car wash...

Yeh. Looks like they used a garden hose on it.
I see a little brown on getter. May be a weak tube.

I like the words in the auction "In very good condition- not tested"!

So do I. Translated: "It most likely is either worn out or close to zero emission. Since I said it is 'not tested', I am covered." or "It is worn out and I know it and I am covered."..

I'd rather buy this one than the ones I see hooked to a tester showing the emissions, how do you know they didn't just rejuvenate it?

I agree. I've gambled 5 or 6 times on listings just like this and all the CRTs have been usable.

The Ultor button looks rusty so it may have been outside or a humid environment. The getter flash looks o.k. to me.

I've been happy with most of the CRT's I've gambled on. Not that I haven't lost.

Speaking of which, item 270628658090. Says they've tested it in a set also.

item 170514702886 as well. A little pricey though.
