Question about 15GP22 production

[wkand]

All I know is that I am utterly fascinated by the CRT restoration efforts whether directed to 15G's or other tubes. The revisiting of the original RCA docs to understand the material science involved is epic.

The re-creation of the original or improved materials in this day of everything being labelled a carcinogen, and blocked from access to the general public or even technical workers, goes way beyond anything I've ever seen.

Special jigs and fixtures built from scratch with great attention to detail is an art form, as is the entire process. No doubt about it.

I live in the Seattle area where a certain Mr. Chihuly lives are creates fantastic glass sculptures. Many buildings in the area are endowed with his work. This effort is no less significant than that.

To all of you, RESPECT!!!
