Hi Guys,,
General update - I just talked to RACS this PM and here is the latest info.
Concerned, please read carefully:
NEW B&W CRT inquiry rebuilds USA & UK
NEW Color CRT inquiry rebuilds.
NOT concerned:
CRTs & guns already at RACS - 2 x 15G's Bob & John
Guns already at Western Vacuum co. USA, undergoing USA labor Work (Bob & John) - many.
B&W CRTs, Euro (all countries) & USA already at RACS.
For these, unless a specific component is missing, and all parts are already at RACS, any delay is due to hand labor time to rebuild, can be up to 2 day/gun for really vintage "toughies".
For these cases i am in most cases already in frequent contact with CRT owners to ensure follow up and the fastest possible processing.
Your case not covered above? - PM me.
What's happening behind the scene:
RACS is expecting delivery within the next 2 weeks of a massive order of supplies from Western Vacuum USA of Cathodes, Filaments, Getters, 150X Filaments & Cathodes for 15GP22 US color CRTs and the last rebuilt guns, basically they are cleaning out Southwest's entire inventory.
RACS also informed me that some Southwest resold raw parts come from Puerto-Rico so Southwest itself is tributary from a third party. They usually group together into one consolidated shipment, so everything "waits" until the last element completes the order - Sorry! out of my reach, but be assured it will be done.
So target date looks around mid-april at the latest to have all parts in France.
Best Regards to all,
