I feel I have been lucky with the CRT. When I bought the set, I knew it was the original 1949 tube and expected it to be a dud. It had a brightener on it, which wasn't a good sign.
I tested it with my B&K Tester and there was absolutely no emission. Zilch! With nothing to lose, I tried rejuvenation. One blast and then measured emission was nearly 100%. No sign of gas, it seems to work okay without the brightener.
It is a little dim but is watchable: Let's see how long it lasts.
