CRT Rebuilding Equipment

Pretty cool. Is it in operation yet?

[SuEnRoD]

I actually did this for a couple of years at Tri-state Electronics in Chattanooga, Tn.

We had 6 ovens so we could do a run of 6 tubes a day.

Interesting job.

Either way, it's a neat idea. And probably interesting to have around a museum. Is this what went with those old Popular Mechanics ads suggesting TV repair as a vocation - order by mail?

Those Popular Mechanics ads were mostly from mail order schools that would teach you to repair the circuitry in the TV sets. Rebuilding the tubes was something else entirely, and that was done commercially by businesses that specialized in that service. I doubt that many TV repair shops ever attempted to do their own CRT rebuilding.
