Hi Guys,
Nope, they didn't get me! - Thanks! for support & to all who inquired privately. Some photos below from french media during the last two days. Last pix i took of the punctured steel shutter shows the "device" was no joke - ball-bearing caused punctures used as improvised bullets said Police Explosion expert from scientific police. Miniman, no change in what i'm trying to plan for you, just trying to get a £$!'# set of possible dates from RACS is taking longer than i thought. To come back on topic, 15G USA #1 has undergone first frit glass cooking this week. Trying to learn more this afternoon.

No worries Jerome, I just hope that the folks over on my end don't condemn what happened as a terrorist attack as that would interfere with our plans.

Hi Guys,,
General update - I just talked to RACS this PM and here is the latest info. Concerned, please read carefully: NEW B&W CRT inquiry rebuilds USA & UK NEW Color CRT inquiry rebuilds. NOT concerned: CRTs & guns already at RACS - 2 x 15G's Bob & John Guns already at Western Vacuum co. USA, undergoing USA labor Work (Bob & John) - many. B&W CRTs, Euro (all countries) & USA already at RACS. For these, unless a specific component is missing, and all parts are already at RACS, any delay is due to hand labor time to rebuild, can be up to 2 day/gun for really vintage "toughies". For these cases i am in most cases already in frequent contact with CRT owners to ensure follow up and the fastest possible processing. Your case not covered above? - PM me. What's happening behind the scene: RACS is expecting delivery within the next 2 weeks of a massive order of supplies from Western Vacuum USA of Cathodes, Filaments, Getters, 150X Filaments & Cathodes for 15GP22 US color CRTs and the last rebuilt guns, basically they are cleaning out Southwest's entire inventory. RACS also informed me that some Southwest resold raw parts come from Puerto-Rico so Southwest itself is tributary from a third party. They usually group together into one consolidated shipment, so everything "waits" until the last element completes the order - Sorry! out of my reach, but be assured it will be done. So target date looks around mid-april at the latest to have all parts in France. Best Regards to all, jhalphen Paris/France |

To Miniman82,
Just an awesome display of TVs! - what can i say - so much work, so many awesome results and (incidentally) so much display floorspace (jealous me). Big congratulations! Cheers JH/Paris |

The floorspace is what is killing me right now Jerome, I need to sell the CTC-7.

Glad you made it through, OK, Jerome. The closest I've ever come to a terrorist attack was when Flight 93 flew over my head near Pittsburgh just before it crashed into Shanksville, PA
