I've heard of them, but never formed an opinion. In the Los Angeles area, we had two major rebuilders; Dunbar and Pacific Vacuum. There were also a few midsized rebuilders such as West Coast TV in Culver City (3 or 4 ovens), and MetroColor in San Gabriel (a dozen or more ovens). The only one still in business today, is MetroColor...... Same owners, but it's now a cat boarding hotel, and the ovens have been converted to cat cages! They sold all the rest of the CRT rebuilding stuff to a company in Mexico in the early 2000s. I got a few NOS military 21" roundie color tubes from them, which are great. HR19VGUP22, if I recall. The military was still using 21FJ-type tubes for certain special applications at least until then, if not still today, I guess.
