That's right -- Hawk-Eye Picture Tube is the source for antique picture tube repair!
In the earliest days of television there were two styles of tubes, all glass and glass & metal.

The All Glass Antique Picture Tube tends to be stronger, allowing it to withstand stress from the rebuilding process with no difficulty. Our success rate with this style is excellent.

The Glass & Metal Antique Picture Tube  tends to be weaker, which can cause tube implosion during the rebuilding process. Although our rebuilding success rate for this style is excellent, knowing the risk of implosion, Hawk-Eye requires full payment before the rebuilding process begins.

The Philco Predicta is the most commonly requested rebuild. This tube withstands the rebuilding process with no concern and Hawk-Eye has an outstanding success rate when it comes to rebuilding this style.

If it is necessary to send your antique picture tube in for rebuild, Hawk-Eye provides shipping containers that help to ensure safe arrival. The only cost incurred for this service is the cost of freight. Our normal in-house production for antique tubes is 3 to 4 weeks.
