Would it be a big deal to seal it, then melt hole and install a new service tube then pull a fresh vacuum?

I used to watch neon sign guys do it all the time. You couldnt get nearly as good a vacuum as a rebuilder but easily get 98% of the air out.
But this one apparently has a good CRT.

There's a lot more involved in bringing the 15GP22 back to life. Search this forum for 15GP22 and you'll see all the effort that Bob Galanter, John Folsom and Jerome Halphen have put into the project.
