I think with that bonded tube it would have to be a replacement so you won't have to deal with the etch. Mine has it; more than one member here has said they can be buffed out. Maybe someday. Mine must not be too bad as the repairman I got it from said he used that crt in his TV at home for several years. Seems he bought a fairly new set with a necked crt; RCA practically gave away these test jigs, for less than the cost of a new crt from what he said. The etching kept them from just buying up a bunch and trashing the cabinets.
