As we all know, to recreate an original 15GP22 would be too costly. But one thing to remember and concider is that the same new technology and compounds we have now can also be used to make a more leak proof bulb while still using the original crt's parts. It sounds like the guys have the gun replacement situation under control now which was a major undertaking on its own. Now its just the matter of getting the leak problem solved. I commend all who are envolved in this project and am glad there is at least some hope now to save the 15GP22. Not only will this benefit the 15GP22 owners but also help the owners of other metal/glass crt's in the future. Hopefully down the road, electrostatic crt's and other rare crt's like the DuMont 30 inch crt can also be looked into. Good work guys!
