At the risk of taking my own thread off topic, I really think the people who have been working with the rebuild equipment at ETF should practice on common B&W and color tubes first before worrying too much about pre war tubes and 15GP22s. Forget the metal cone stuff for now. Perhaps they have been, but all I hear about are attempts at rebuilding 15GP22s outside of that one monochrome tube that ended up with a 12V heater and one 21AXP22. Unfortunately their effort relies on volunteers at this point which limits the manpower available to learn and do the work and get to a point where those high value tubes can be reliably rebuilt at a reasonable price. Heck, I'd volunteer myself but I don't have the time or money to do it. I'm decades away from retirement and over a thousand miles away.
