crt testing

I have a chance to get an early color set with the round crt. I tried testing the crt but it is acting unusual. all the guns check really good at first. If I leave the tester hooked up keeping the filaments lit and wait about 10 minutes and redo all the tests the emissions are lower than before. My tester is a b+ k 465. the scale goes to 1,000. At first all the guns check at about 900. Later they all run about 600. That is still in the good range but is this telling me the tube is questionable or my tester is dying? there are no shorts and it still passes the "life test". This is the only crt I have checked that does this. Thanks, Doug
