Moron alert again for rebuilding 15GP22's

[julianburke]

I have heard someone else is working on this project in another country but they are encountering similar problems. Since I am/was experienced in tube rebuilding, I would like to see a product that seals vacuum leaks where metal and glass are annealed.

I have often thought that just manufacturing *NEW* 15GP22's (even in china) would be a better alternative with better technology albeit an expensive project. It would be nice if a manufacturer could build say, 500 tubes in the $300-500 bracket. The more made, the lower cost per tube as you couldn't build just 100 as they would be in the $2000-3000 bracket.
