I've been reading the threads about tube swaps, and the hopes of having new crts made.
There used to be a company called 8liners (Wei Ya) that sold chassis you could put on a variety of tubes. So you'd find a decent tube, check its specs, then order a chassis to fit.
This seems much easier than trying to find a donor tube that happens to fit an old chassis you already have.
I managed to do one on a game and it worked reasonably easy.
What happened to them? If they are no longer in business, I'm surprised no one has picked that up. It seems like one of the other companies that serve the hobby with custom boards coud do this? Maybe Rottendog?
