As a fellow B&K 606 owner (of roughly 17 years) I can tell you it is a good tester, and also tell you that no tester will give comprehensive real use case testing of HV rectifiers and sweep tubes....it makes a good guide to what is not worth installing but sometimes actually swapping tubes is the only way to find one the set likes.
One small nit to pick: you called the face mask for the CRT a shadow mask... that is incorrect. A shadow mask is a screen mesh found only inside the glass envelope of color CRTs. A shadow mask is placed roughly 1" behind the phosphor such that the electron gun beams must pass through its holes to hit and illuminate the phosphor....the shadow of the shadow mask prevents the beams from landing on the wrong color dots and in unphosphored screen area. You will never see a shadow mask in person unless you smash a hole in the glass of a color CRT.

Yeah, I kind of forgot about that. Anyways yes I think once I get the neck shadow and the vertical and horizontal size and linearity adjusted it should be good.
