From the point of view of an extreme newcomer to this world, it seems logical that this service would not be profitable and therefore no longer available. I have seen threads of those commenting about people selling a vintage set for a hundred dollars and exclaim that the price is outrageous. How can we possibly expect there to be some one to provide such a highly specialized service to such a minuscule amount of people for prices that those few are willing to pay? Even taking into account the MUCH, MUCH smaller amount of people who both own rare and/or pre-war CRTs in need of rebuilding and the ability to spend a higher price to have those rebuilt, how many of those rebuilds would one need to perform in a year to make a living? It seems that the future of CRT rebuilding will be the hands of those who possess a passion for keeping them alive, and the means to make that passion a reality.
