Mr Lee's idea to me sounds great and I hope that anyone who has the capital to run a non profit C.R.T. rebuilding facility has the best of luck with the builds. Now Electronic M looks at it more from the challenge of the build and the mufti-faceted craftsmanship and education that would be necessary with the realization of the need for, well, to be frank; money to throw away.

I tend to just see the reality that such an operation would involve a ton or overhead. And this overhead in the form of skilled (again mufti-faceted) labor would first be hard to find. I don't see this or any operation to be a one man deal. The individual for even close to that would almost need to be formerly trained in electronics, glass work, and metal work or fabrication, and ideally have some years of experience either building or rebuilding vacuum tubes.

So, it would be hard to shoot the original dream of such a hobby down. I'm sure you will have plenty of customers; initially at least. Most definitely it would just be a labor of love and I'm glad that there are still minds out there like MR Lee that just want to do a good thing for no real reason other than the interest and/or helping people. The thought process is to me reminiscent to that which many young people had back in the late 60s
