Probably would be a good idea to bring it up real slow on a CRT tester in a situation like that.

I was just as slow (if not slower) with that tube as I was with the other ~10 CRTs in that batch, and all of those tubes woke up decently.

Upon the alarm clock going off instead of turning over, clutching for snooze, and eventually rolling outa bed, It pretty much just stood bolt upright clutched at it's chest, shook, and slowly crumpled to the ground dead...Pardon the colorful metaphor. I'd chock it up more to being a flaky rebuild.
