I've farmed out early color sets to other restorers simply because I've come to loathe working on early color. In turn, I've worked on more than a few brute-force HV sets for people too afraid (and for good reason) to work on them. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who the hell is doing the restoration work, so long as everyone is happy with the end result.
Your CT-100 is looking good Dave!
Perhaps the red gun will wake up a bit with more use. I had a CTC-9 or 10 with a dead looking green gun that sprang back to life after 4 or 5 hours of use.
