I attended the vintage computer fest Midwest recently and there is a growing need for monitor rebuilding in that community as well. There is also the vintage arcade gaming contingency. I think there is a huge potential to join forces.

ISTR the museum acquiring a large stock of inline guns with some of their equipment. If they had someone to do the work they could probably make good money rebuilding color monitors for the arcade and vintage PC communities. When a PC or arcade is worth 4 figures it's a lot easier to justify spending $200-500 on a rebuild of the CRT.
