===Rebuilding===
CRTs used to be rebuilt; repaired or refurbished. The rebuilding process included the disassembly of the CRT, the disassembly and repair or replacement of the electron gun(s), the removal and redeposition of phosphors and [[aquadag]], etc. Rebuilding was popular until the 1960s because CRTs were expensive and wore out quickly, making repair worth it.<ref name="auto56"/> The last CRT rebuilder in the US closed in 2010,<ref>{{cite web | title=Last Lone Wolf CRT Rebuilder Closing | website=TV Technology | date=2010-07-06 | url=https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/last-lone-wolf-crt-rebuilder-closing | access-date=2020-12-11}}</ref> and the last in Europe, RACS, which was located in France, closed in 2013.<ref>{{cite web | title=CRT Rebuilding Project | website=Early Television Foundation | date=2015-01-02 | url=https://www.earlytelevision.org/crt_project.html | access-date=2020-12-11}}</ref>
