The seller reports, the chassis S/N appears to be B8000316 and the cabinet S/N is 538; the getters are shiny and there is filament continuity.

I would not place bets that the tube is good. In two of the photos you can see a milky white residue around the getters. That is a very bad sign. The tube that John and I rebuilt went gassy and the getters are still nice and silver with NOT any sign of milky white residue. This tube is most likely under partial vacuum, but probably gassy. And in any event the seller disclosed that somebody had wired a makeshift brightner in the filiment circuit and that is sure sign that the crt is toast.
