Even though the filiments have continuity, I would not count on that crt having a good vacuum. It is possible, but I would guess the odds are very slim at best.

Someone needs to hit that crt neck with a high voltage tesla coil to see if there is a purple glow. That is the best test to see if it is holding vacuum.
