I need a rebuildable one, to send out to France.

Gosh, I hope France is not the nearest facility capable of rebuilding a CRT!
I know that prospects are thin here in the US; hell, we can't even manufacture our own combat boots. Anyway, I better avoid an economic/political rant (rage)! I though that some guys bought Hawkeye's equipment and were going to be able to do some rebuilds. I wonder if that is true. One factor is that SOMEBODY has to manufacture the electron guns. I wonder how that happens.
Ya know, if there is not a way to replace or rebuild CRTs, our hobby will eventually die out. Really, right now we are running on the fumes of smoke stacks of old, or should I say NOS or parts donors. I would like to say that it will be after we are long gone and any remnants of the TV boom of the mid 20th century will be in museums.
