Not necessarily so DonDon,

If, and I emphasize IF, we are able to develope a successful rebuild protocall, to either, tubes under vacuum, or also tubes that have lost vacuum, we would most likely do rebuilds on an exchange basis where you deliver us your intact dud and we deliver back to you a successfully rebuilt tube. We would probably only take your money if we already had a good tube ready to deliver.

We thought about doing it sort of "plunk your money down and take your chances" method, but it has too many drawbacks for both the buyer and the rebuilding team.

So consider this as a conventional rebuild situation, where you bring your dud to the rebuilder and he sells you an already rebuilt tube that is tested and ready to install in your set, when you state how much you would be willing to pay for a rebuilt 15GP22.
