That mirrors my experience. Rejuvenating a picture tube was always a last resort, and came with no guarantees, and the customer knew this in plain and simple terms up front. It was simply a low cost alternative to replacing the CRT. The reality was that it usually provided another year or so of usable life to an otherwise unwatchable TV set.
I would guess the shops that had trouble with this were the ones who didn't explain to the customer what was involved in rejuvenation and what options were available (replacement, rejuvenate, or brightener).
