Hi to all,
further on the topic, interesting paragraph - edited (cathode manufacturing):
"The TVs are currently undergoing an extensive restoration process which shall ensure the work a new usable life expectancy of at least 20 years. Divided into three batches, the monitors are removed from the work and picked up by the CRT-Lab Colorvac, which Christian Draheim runs and given a general overhaul and if necessary, fitted with new tubes. To make this final step possible, Saueracker and Draheim have specially developed a new technology for manufacturing cathodes after the end of their industrial production."
