I had an old color rounded zenith that worked for a while since it was a zenith. Is there a way to make some old sets more reliable to avoid common failures even if have to engineer a solution? How's the crt rebuild going? Not preferred but can CRT substitutes be done as backup supplies for rare color tvs and prewar b/w sets.?

I KNOW I'm gonna hear it, CAN a generic color CRT substitute for the CT100 be done just to make an otherwise non functional set operational? I think the challenge in the future is just to keep sets working. Is there any TV museum displays showing a video of rare sets working, with only limited turn on events. Just a few thoughts to keep old sets relevant.
It seems the parts and labor to repair these historical pieces is just getting harder to find.

Those CT100 CRT's are complicated- pretty much experimental and developmental with that combo of glass and metal external envelope. What about some vintage test jig color crts or old arcade color crts, can they be used?

A true hack, but ct100's will be able to run for next 100 years. Is anyone saving surplus color and b/w crts before they hit the scrap heap?

HAS ANYONE TRIED RIGGING SUCH A REMEDY on a CT100 to make it work???? Can anyone suggest substitute CRT's for a CT100.
Kinda a large piece just to display.
