It is possible it is just a score on the tube, but I will look at options to either replace or get another TV if it is the worst case.
There are no outward signs, I would have expected to see such as missing coating on the front, or any getter coating going white, but I suspect that would be under the yoke?
I think I need to apply 6.3 Volts.

I think that is defiantly a scratch. If it was a crack I would expect that the crack would encircle the neck altogether.
P.S don't worry about the apparent misalignment of the electron gun in the CRT. This is part of the ion trap arrangement. There should be a small magnet on a band around the neck somewhere. You would need this and it's correct orientation to get light on the screen. It looks missing to me.
