My understanding was that Scotty greatly increased his prices the last few years of business because he no longer wanted to be doing it, and he also knew he was the last one doing it. And I think the $300 cost was for roundie color CRTs, not B&W tubes.
I bought six 17-inch Predicta CRTs from VDC for $322.51 total shipped to me as recently as February 2010. It ws much cheaper to buy them outright from VDC's stock rather than to try and deal with Scotty.
