Phil,

We have the technology to locate the leak with the Helium leak detector. The leak will be located somewhere on the weld where the front and rear sections of the tube are welded together.

I believe Nick did some welding recently on some part of a 21axp22 that he is playing around with and commented that the material welded suprisingly easy.

So if we are able to locate the leak (which is easy) and Nick can re-weld the area where the leak is located, then it should be an easy task to re-gun the tube some day at ETF. I know somebody who has a stash of delta guns in the event we are able to get a rebuilding plant up and running at ETF some day.

Moral of the story is SAVE YOUR LEAKING 21AXP22 crt's. We might be able to fix them some day.

BTW: there is so much air in that tube that I can see corrosion on some of the gun elements.
