Any interest in *new* 16AP4's?

Hi to All,

Matt, Thank you!

To complete previous posts:
Why am i strongly suggesting the screen coating facilities be transfered to the ETF?

Well because vintage CRTs coming in for rebuild seldom have a mint phosphor layer. Ion burns - sometimes huge, reduced light emission because of electron bombardment for decades, screen marks showing up as raster rectangles, pattern/text burn-in or a dark horizontal line across the screen in the event of V scan failure are all pretty common defects.

It would be a shame to give a new lease on life to vintage CRTs while keeping a damaged screen, only doing half the job really.

A "How-To" Book:
Mr Raedersdorff-father, the Brother's Dad and founder of RACS was a high level scientist at Corning Glass France. When he started RACS, he wrote an all-practical "Cookbook" on CRT rebuilding and every worker was given a copy. It is invaluable data, full of drawings and good/bad instructions on how to do things right.
35 years after RACS started, François R. still keeps his Dad's book handy in the Lab.

ONE copy remains, i saw it. The Bros. want us to have this essential info. I asked that they make a copy by any media convenient to them: photocopy, Scan, etc. This is a faded blue ink document somewhat akin to a blueprint. It is in French, so will need to be translated. An English version existed in the past but was apparently lost in the last flood, 2006, 5 ft of water in the plant :-(
