I'm guessing that they mean "driving the tube so hard the people across 
the road complain" kind of damage.  Certainly I'd replace the two 
resistors that have gone high, and assess the picture from there.  If it 
hasn't been twiddled by a previous owner then the chances are it'll be 
"good enough".
