With the price for rebuilding a 15G being what it is, you'd think some rich philanthropic collector out there would have comissioned the building of an entirely new tube by now. Seems to me that some factory in China would be able to cobble an all glass, highly reliable tube together for next to nothing for these sets.
Even if they had to keep the planar shadow mask to make it work with the CTC-2 chassis, it would be a lot better to have a tube with a HV anode button rather than the leaky prone weld seam the 15G has. I figure a production run of 500 tubes at $1,500 a piece would cover it, but it's just a pie in the sky idea.
