There is not "zero" chance of rebuilding the tubes. In fact, RACS is making excellent progress. There will be a presentation at this year's Early Television Convention about the progress.

I don't believe there will be a flood of CT-100 sales. People collect old TV sets whether they work or not.

I agree with this statement. All of a sudden people are badmouthing the CT-100. It is a VERY collectible television even if it does not function due to a bad CRT. Bet you guys wouldn't turn down a pre-war set with a bad CRT.

Everyone has a set or two that does not function. So what? They look nice on display even if not functional. Just my thoughts.

The particular one I was looking at would have been a great buy, but I think it deserved a better home than to just sit collecting dust with me and being of no functional use to me and it's not my era of TV. I think this is much like collecting cars some guys are Corvette collectors and some guys are charger collectors, I dont think you can get much money out of either in this economy.
I have a Charger myself
