I was once given a rather large (27" or larger) new crt that was NOS but with a bad scratch on the face. It proved no good to me, except that inside were the official instructions from RCA for how to kill the vacuum in the dud-the old ice pick in the anode button method. I have used this ever since, with no problems. It takes only a few very gentle taps.
