I left the CRT checker on it all night. Didn't show anything wrong, though, and I didn't really expect it. I looked the crt module, and main board over for bad solder, and saw few suspect places. The supply end of the 12k resistors on the crt board (feeding the R/G/B amps)looked suspect so I re-soldered them. So far so good. Makes no sense to me. I would have bet on a bad crt.
