I live about 2 miles from SWVP's last location. Too bad for ETF and the sake of rebuilding CRTs.

Tom,
It sure would be helpful to know if the division that got the equipment would still be willing to rebuild electron guns the way SWVP was doing for John Folsom and myself before SWVP closed it's doors.

It appears that you possibly have some ability to communicate with Mr. Ordway. Do you think you might be able to speak to him to find out what division got the equipment and if they are building electron guns, or possibly taking in outside work for gun rebuilding? Electron guns are going to be the single biggest obstacle in our way to being able to rebuild crt's at the ETF Museum.
