I agree about seeing it in operation, if you get any used electrostatic tube. Whenever I have a spare one to sell on eBay, I quickly stick it in a chassis and fire it up to take a picture. That way the buyer can judge how bright it is, and if it has a spot. And I see a big difference in prices on those too! I've seen $14 for a clean-looking untested one, and I even sold a package of 25 of them on eBay for $150! That was a grab-bag lot untested. But that guy got a deal even if only 2 or 3 were good. But "TESTED GOOD" ones seem to go on eBay for $75 & up.
