Yeah, at least the seller is being honest about it.
One brightener is not all that bad; I had 3 stacked on a 21FJP22 in an old Zenith roundie years ago. You could shut off all the lights in the room, and read by the light coming from the CRT neck. It wasn't a long time after I put on the third brightener that things really started falling apart inside that poor old tube.
I went in to hassle a radio shop owner I'd known for a long time, and ask him for a replacement for this tube. It turned out he actually had one! I did a Saturday morning R&R CRT and the set was fine after that.
But I was lucky. These wine glasses are getting hard to find. And it is glaringly apparent that there are a lot of dreamers on eBay.
