Nobody's afraid of a little honest competition, but...

...let’s not forget, we already have manufactured 15GP22 stems, rebuilt 15GP22 guns, and developed a process to attach the stem/gun assembly to 15GP22 neck glass. It’s taken six years to reach this stage. So far, this recycler guy has put up nothing but words.

Both of which are mine.....I listed them this afternoon since it doesn't seem I'll be getting my cabinet back

I'll end up listing all of the parts eventually.

Tim,

I guess this is the official end of the line for your CT-100 cabinet. Everytime I'm reminded of your situation, I get angry all over again. I hope with this auction you can salvage something out of this.

Best,
-Steve D.

I know what it's like to be left with bits & pieces of what WAS a complete CT-100...

The police can't find this guy, and he's had the cabinet almost two years. All I can do is lick my wounds, and be thankful that I have one CT-100 that's complete.

I just wish you'd sent the cabinet to me...I have a VERY GOOD furniture refinisher buddy who's very reasonable, & understands about old TVs & radio cabinets..Sure, it woulda been a PITA getting it down here & all, but I KNOW you'd gotten it back-as nice as the day it left the factory...-Sandy G.

What happened there Charles? It's hard to tell what exactly that is from the pictures - was that a house fire? I'm sure there's a sad story behind that one.

Yes; that was in 1988... The CT-100 was in the room upstairs on the left in the fire picture. It had been recapped and was working. But the miracle of that fire (besides nobody being killed out of the 5 that were in the house), was that the room in the back downstairs where 90% of my TVs were was UNDAMAGED. The only sets lost were the CT-100, a Philco 7" bakelite. Sets that were damaged but salvagable were a Kaye-Halbert Normandy, a DuMont Royal Sovereign 30", and a Scott projection tabletop set.

Curious... has anyone made any progress trying to follow up on this dude claiming to rebuild 15G's? Wasn't he supposed to be back at work after the holidays?

I mentioned this a while back in a PM, but I'd like to share what I recently found with all the other 15G-heads here. While searching Google, I pulled up a thread on a TV-service page (dated 4-22-05) and found one of the aforementioned gentlemen trolling for CRT rebuild gear.
