There is one REAL big problem here. Regunning a tube does nothing about
phosphor burn-in and none of that equipment can fix that.

Can't help but notice that his profit estimates don't mention electricity
costs. Wouldn't think those 5 KW ovens would run for free (and they also need
natural gas for heating the tubes).
