Well good morning, thanks for picking up the net today and yeah, pretty gray and overcast over here in West Seattle but I'll get polo out here soon. But yeah, I'm working on kind of a fun project. I've got an old vacuum tube volt meter, a Heathkit V7A from the 50s and so I am refurbishing it and I replaced the electrolytic caps that were in there that were kind of dried out or actually paper caps that were replacing them with modern electrolytics that are a lot better. And I did that last night and today the old selenium rectifier has got to go. Those things are not reliable when they get old and you don't want to smell one of those if it goes up in smoke. It's really a toxic smell. That gets replaced today and then I'll proceed on with getting it in operation and get it aligned. Back to you, K30E.
