I doubt that rebuilders normally aluminized or even redeposited screens, anybody know of one that did?

RACS in France was still aluminumizing and phosphoring until they closed. Hawkeye was doing it in the early days when Scotty's father was still running the company. After the move to the final location that Scotty ran, they no longer did either process. At the new location all they did was re-gun the tube.
