On the subject of sellers saying "untested", I do that all the time when I just don't want to bother with it. It doesn't mean I took anything out, or that I know something big is failed. So I hope that other sellers say that with the same truth.
In the case of an old TV, as we know, you have to inspect the whole thing visually, haul out the Variac, meter the B+, and spend a good half hour fiddling with it and reaching around feeling filter cans for heat. If a tube is missing, spend an hour pawing through a huge box of tubes. Yada, yada, yada. Then after all that, you have to hope it STILL does the same whatever when it reaches the buyer. So if I have a set that I just got as a rescue, or that I never got around to, it doesn't pay for me to do all that and then make $10 on it. Charles
