I would have liked a tour too, but I suspect it's wishful thinking. The only industrial tours I recall as a kid were auto plants and the like, where the factory was big enough to confine the tourists to viewing areas where they were safe from production operations and production operations were safe from them.
I do know, for example, that Motorola and Rauland/Zenith treated some parts of their CRT production as trade secrets, as did others. A simple example: the speed at which the CRT faceplate was rotated as the phosphor slurry was applied.
