I tried testing a couple of 3NP4's on a CR-70, setting it up as a scope tube and connecting G2 to pin 3, I was able to get a cutoff setting and an emission reading, but on the low side. I don't know what condition the tubes are in as they were just in a box of loose CRT's. They won't test at all as a 5TP4 or any other "normal" picture tube.

I'd say the best test is in a operating projector.
