I think where that comes from is that they probably test bad, but are not necessarily bad. There must be something about the metal cone tubes that don't test properly, or, perhaps, they can still make a decent picture despite being very worn out.

That was my experience. My 16" metal cone checked very weak, and despite having a previously installed brightener on it, produces an excellent picture with no brightener. It produces a good picture within 15 seconds and about 3 minutes to peak.
Shango is an odd duck. I love his passion and enthusiasm but he's what we used to call a ham and egger. I stopped watching because he makes so many mistakes or says things that are factually incorrect.
