Protip: don't trust a crt tester unless you've used it on many crt's and have a good feel for it. Mine, which read everything I plugged it to as barely alive, had bad caps and resistors. Now, having it fixed and calibrated to the best of my ability... STILL reads everything as near-dead. Even fully working crt's! So far, in my limited experience, the best method seems to be to do the minimum capacitor replacements to get the tv working just enough to get some kind of light from the crt, and use that as your determination.

Also... don't attempt rejuvenation. Not unless you've had the crt plugged into a fully functional tv chassis and it's not working.
