15GP22 rebuilding update...

That's some exciting news! I hope that it works out in the long run. The big stumbling block has been the rusting of the metal flange, causing cracking/leaking of the glass-to-metal seals.

Wow that IS good news! Question, how many "dud" 15GP22's are known in existence?

I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2:1 against CT-100s. I've had and sold/traded off at least a dozen dud 15GP22s, and just about every CT-100 owner I know of has at least a couple of spare bad CRTs. Not all of them will be usable though. About half of the ones that I know of which aren't positioned in a TV (are stored on their faces), have phosphor blotches
