Another CRT rebuilder
 

Sorry if this is old news but I just ran across this rebuilder:

Don't know anything about them and I'm not vouching for them, just passing this along. Is anyone familiar with their work/prices?

I believe someone has checked into this and it was a scam.

A scam? Wow, now I really want to hear more about them! Can think of a bazillion more lucrative scams to run other than a tube rebuilder LOL

Not only do they claim to offer rebuilding services but also rebulding gear and training.

I get the impression that their business is mostly centered around the notion of selling rebuilding equipment to foreign countries (where labor is cheap and CRTs still reign supreme). The other potentially much more profitable scheme would be to help municipalities in their "recyling" (AKA disposal) of CRTs.

Thanks so much for that link. I googled the address and grabbed the below screen shots of their "CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS & WORLD DISTRIBUTION CENTER"

After viewing the pix I'm convinced that all our fears will be allayed LOL You can just make out the name and phone number on the door 985-1556

PS As usual, Google doesn't show the correct location according to the inputted address. Knowing this I "walked" up and down the street looking for building numbers or business names which I then cross checked *their* addresses. Not bragging, just mean to fend off anyone who might think I have located the incorrect location and wanted to pass this cautionary tale onto anyone else who uses Google maps.

Wow, that's even classier than I would have guessed! :D

Before you drop off your 15GP22 I suggest getting a tetanus and rabies shot, and let some people know where you're going. Oh, and if you hear banjos you'd better scram!

Think they have a class 100 clean room for gun rebuilding hidden somewhere inside that hovel ? :D

My 15GP22 needs help, but will NEVER get near that place!:thumbsdn:
