but to those of us who collect and restore old TV sets there's a big value difference between a good 15GP22 and one that's gone to air.

You got that right Tom. I don't think a leaker will ever be worth more than about $300, even if John Folsom and I are able to develope a workable method to seal the leakers.
The bottom line is; rebuilding a 15GP22 ( one that is still under vacuum ) is going to cost more than what I just paid for this NOS tube.
And, if we are successful, rebuilding a leaker will be even more expensive than rebuilding a tube still under vacuum, due to the extra work that will most likely be involved.
Bottom line is.... 15GP22 tubes that are under vacuum and fully functional, will be getting more and more expensive as time goes by because the cost to rebuild these tubes will greater than the
today's current market price of a known good tube.
