I forgot to say that Steve and his team are doing a great job for all of us interested in keeping these old sets alive.
In the (good) old days you could set up a tube regunning shop in an old garage. All the guns were readily available and the skills were quite widespread. Results were a bit variable, the best rebuilders got results that were the equal of the manufacturers, the bad ones went out of business. Now new guns are not available and the skills are not so well known. All makes it much harder.
