Odd question, how well do CRT?s age? Just the CRT, if what I think exists, is actually
there, they?ve never been in Oscilloscopes.

I'm a bit confused by the wording. Is the question "how well do they age if not
used"?
I would say they should last pretty much indefinitely so long as the vacuum seal is
correctly made and not cracked, and of course there is no other evidence of mechanical
damage.

Really, that?s what I thought. The ones I?m thinking of, should still be in the
packaging, assuming my Dad didn?t drill them out to make lamps (at which point they?re an
art object). At some point, my Mom wants me to get into where they?re stored.

I vaguely remember this being discussed eons ago wrt correct storage orientation to keep
cathode shed from hitting the phosphor.
