As per my other thread I'm back from VDC (Electrohome) at Cape Canaveral, and boy are they ever turning out the 85 and 9500's. Lots of new Gov. contracts. They set up my Ebay machine on the bench and ran it thu its paces and said they would not retube because they are performing like new tubes even though the Hr meter says 15,000 plus. Then they found that my brightness problem was due to low G2 levels, very low. Also they are running a check on the tube mfg dates to see if maybe it has been retubed lately. I was very pleased with their overall operation and frankness since we had agreed over the phone for $7800 including labor to retube. Looking around there will not be a shortage of parts for a long time. Interesting to see some of the flight simulator setups. Also the room where they finish setup on different screens. Many people working there. Some of our discussion centered around digital. But because of its shortcomings they were wondering if it was just increasing their work load. Will pickup thur and see how it goes. AL WARD near Orlando
