How to test a crt, without a tester?

[jbivy]

Please forgive my ignorance here, im just getting into these. With radios, im mediocre, but tv's are still complete magic to me.

I figured id start the recapping on my 1950 motorola this month. Picked up a sams photofact for it already. But if the crt is dead..well..

I read on here and now cant find it, a simple test for seeing if theres at least some life left in your crt. It was akin to hooking a 6 volt battery up to say pin one and six, seeing if it lights up.

If anyone can help me out here, id be really appreciative.

and if it fails well.. i guess ive a nice cabinet and rust free chassis for free then.
