I have tried to call them on several occasions and ask a few questions to see if they know what they are talking about. Both numbers (toll free & regular) ring but are never answered-not even an answering machine.

They also claim they set up CRT rebuilding facilities and offer a 8 week training course. Nice time to go into this business!

Lots of TV shops around the country bought basic rebuilding units in the 60s and 70s. I don't know for sure but I suspect that most were never real successful at the process. I can think of various scenerios involving an old TV shop with one of these rigs-just one, pure speculation: "junior" graduates college, comes home to take over the reins at the family shop, sees that old rebuilding rig over in the corner and starts asking questions. After much googling he determines that there is $$$ to be made. He gets the website setup but soon finds out just why Pop left that rig to gather dust back in '78. Took 3 tries to rebuild a 25v and then after installing it in a customers set (and collecting good money for it) 2 weeks go by and the neck is purple. Pop mentions that this same thing happened 30 years ago. End of story. Again, I'm just making this all up!

I have called the number and got a voicemail. The recording sounded very unprofessional. The company is now called Seneca Micronics.
