Gathering data on CRT rebuild value

[dtvmcdonald]

I suspect that in the future the ultimate will be the tubes
for Tektronix 454 and 455 scopes, possibly the higher end 7000 series too.

There really would be no way to fix one of these short of replacing just
the cathode, the gun is so complex.

And there is simply still no digital substitute for some uses for these.

Good point. Also, don't forget the 2445/2465 series. As the 'last and best' analog oscilloscope these things are still used professionally. In our lab alone (at MIT) we must have at least a half dozen.

I thought VDC was still doing medical, military, and industrial CRT rebuilding. I thought they only got out of the non-profitable consumer CRT rebuilding.

I am glad to see some fruitful and informative discussion going on here.
