NO!

tube re-building is a bit mis-leading, it should be refered to as 'tube re-gunning'

the proccess is simple (sort-of) you remove the old guns by cutting the end of the neck off,
then you weld on a new gun assembly inside a vacume chamber.

the proccess only works on tubes that are intact, it wont work if you have a vacume leak.
(the phosphorous falls away from the tube face)

NOTHING can save a burned tube! :(

(you could exchange it for a new one, the old tube has glass value (lead-glass is valuable))
