Hi
They can be tested in place. Most rejuvenators just run the
filaments at about 1.5X to 2X the voltage while the rest of the
voltages are at zero. You can do this with a bench power supply.

Another reason for having rejuvenator it has ablitity to test
emissions and leakages (short), also can remove those shorts as well
besides just heating the heater HOTTER.
Secore brand is very good, get used one instead to keep cost down, be
prepared for sticker shock. Your best bet is buy up new TTL monitor
(mono) and stick the new tube into your old terminals is cheapest.
Otherwise for color CRT is same from used monitor except have to
spend lot of time convergencing them.
Cheers,
Wizard
