Others have already answered this correctly. If you have a working set with a 7" electrostatic CRT, that is the answer... But we don't all have that advantage.

I have a Sencore CR-70 that would test them. But as mentioned, even if they test good, they could have ion burn and be dim.

Good luck, these are fun to have and use.
