Looks suspicious to me. I wonder if those pictures were ripped from VK.

You're right! I didn't even notice that. In fact, the one picture looks like it might be a 21 inch roundie lol

Other than the cost of tooling, the technology involved is old technology. I'm sure with today's production capabilities, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that tubes like the 15 and 21 inch could be brought back to life. The Russians and Chinese did it with receiving tubes.

If any of you order and get a plasma panel that's too large don't worry, I have a plasma cutter.

Uh, unlike the USA, the Russians and the Chinese never quit making vacuum tubes, so the technology didn't have to be re-invented.

Guys,
I may be way off here but wouldn't this be a place to ask a manufacturer to produce some replacement GUNS for the rare CRT's? I don't know enough about the specs required but I know some of you do. If I knew enough I would pursue this since it seems the ETF has been able to rebuild tubes. Just a thought.
