Do it in China. It's way easier and faster. Guangzhou has like 15 manufacturers who can build CRTs for you with delivery mid-Feb. You'll have to do QC, though,

Do it in China. It's way easier and faster. Guangzhou has like 15 manufacturers who can build CRTs for you with delivery mid-Feb. You'll have to do QC, though, because they have al sorts of image issues. But I think it would be way easier to get one of them to be good (for a price) than to build these yourself unless you're already an expert with access to the facilities.
