OTH, I have a 21" predicta whose tube tests as pretty much non-existent on everything, but it still works. It gets dim after a while. I haven't had a chance to look at the set any further - could be an after-market tube, could be someone installed a brightener. I will find out eventually and I have another set I might swap the tube with anyhow.
In other words, and this depends on the price, if the heater glows I would take a chance.
