Were there really companies repairing the phospher wearing out?

Repairing the tvs, sure, but i find it hard to believe there were repair shops for the issue parent was mentioning.





No. Repairing phosphors require complete removal of phosphor layers and re-application using basic multi step deposition for RGB strips, on the inner surface of the tube. That's not a shop repair.
