Preidcta Holiday CRT testing

Yes, the bk 465 is easy to use and can do both the 6.3, and 2v crts. A lot of these late 50s tvs have open sand coated Fusistors so check continuity on that also. The crts are hard to find unless you find a trashed Predicta. Be very careful testing it, because the socket in these crts use very brittle plastic and easy to bend tiny pins.

You mentioned about rejuvenating the CRT. I'd advise against that for now. Properly testing it is one thing at least to see what you've got. That tube is prone to being weak but it may still be good enough or usable. Unless you have a tester that has a clean function or something mild for rejuvenation don't be tempted. Even some manufacturers of testers warn about these tubes.
