Personally, I have limited faith in the ETFs CRT tests. I've had "excellent" tubes test significantly lower than advertised at home, and 'bad' tubes that were good but lightly asleep and could have been confirmed good with a bit of patience...

I'm at the point where I rather test it myself before bidding my top dollar than trust the accuracy of the posted info.

My guess they either have an iffy tester, an iffy operator, are taking consigner's word for CRT health or some combination thereof.
