Well, I think that Steve is working very hard to get a really terrific thing off the ground.
I'm beginning to think that each step, and every little item may need to be looked at by
more people just so something can be avoided like short life tubes after a rebuild. Like
NoPegs said above. Not that Steve and the people at the museum are not doing the best.
But more along the lines, that an overlooked item may mean a hundred tubes will
possibly have a short life due to something no one realized.

I also think that as for the bent guns not being available, the best solution I think is to
rebuild the bent gun, and not mess with a good screen. Re-coating the screen should
only be done after rebuilding bent guns is tried and failed repeatedly.

It's just my thoughts that disturbing something that you are not sure you can replace
with long term reliability should not be jumped on quickly and without long term testing
first.
