Echo rebuilt tubes
I used to use ECHO rebuilt tubes.. He sometimes used the brand PRECISION tube.
He was a one-two man outfit on the Southside of Chicago - somewhere around 63rd and Kedzie I think.
He was very much the expert. The place was a fascinating workplace. Crude but effective. His tubes always turned out beautifully. He prided himself on how broadcasters would bring studio CRTs to him to rebuild.
He would write the date of pickup on the tube. He would give a warranty of "a year, a month and a day. " just to cover the tech's butt if he couldn't get the dud tube back in time... Quite a character. I learned a lot from him.
