I am used to seeing that G2 control behavior with weak CRTs (on a B&K 466 or 467), but then they do not test good either. These are tubes that are known-weak, and I usually rejuvenate them. Then, I often get "proper" behavior of the G2 control (and a good test reading too).

People here have mentioned "good cutoff" separately from "testing good or "good emissions" when describing good CRTs they have; I have never understood what it means, but maybe it is referring to proper results from that control? (If that is true, then maybe you have a CRT with "good emissions" but "poor/bad cutoff"?)
