Nasa,

VDC in Dallas will rebuild your 21FBP for 165 bucks (not including the shipping). Their phone number is 800-323-9278. Ask for Phil.

He really doesn't like to ship these, but he has come up with a way that he feels will get the tube back to you safely in one piece.

Keep in mind... due to the nature of these tubes being 40+ years old, he will not guarantee you the rebuild will be successful. He has done many 21FBP's for a few of us here on AK with mainly excellent results. But, there has been a failure or two... usually the glass cracking while in the oven. So, it's kinda a gamble on your part. So far, I have brought him 4 duds and 3 of them were a success. He is also currently rebuilding another 21FBP for one of our west coast members.

Phil can give you all of the details when you speak to him.

Good luck!
