I have a CRT rebuilding station

[Phil Nelson]

I agree, the ETF seems like the ideal host for this project. I doubt there is significant profit to be made. If that were the case, we'd have dozens of companies still doing rebuilds, rather than one guy who already has his eye on the retirement Barcalounger.

There is value in preserving this as a living process, not just something that people read about. Imagine a conversation between TV collectors a few decades from now:

"Yeah, in the old days they even knew how to rebuild picture tubes. But nobody bothered to save the equipment, and there's nobody left who would know how to use it, anyway. Oh well, I like my old TVs as cute furniture, even if the picture tubes are all duds."

How cool would it be to see a rebuilding workshop at a future ETF convention?
