Well, good evening from West Seattle. Doing fine over here. Oh boy, I tell you, today I just had a ton of fun. The lab was open. No, I didn't make any antennas, but I fixed some things. And so anyway, I now have three functioning vacuum tube meters, all from the 50s and 60s. And yeah, do I need them? No, but it was fun working on them and getting them back in working condition. And they work perfectly now. The main thing is, of course, anyone who's worked on old tube type stuff, you gotta replace all those old wax and paper capacitors before they blow up. And the most important thing is to replace the old selenium rectifiers. Because boy, oh boy, you do not want one of those things to go up in smoke. It smells like rotten eggs and the fumes are quite noxious. So you don't even want to be around the fumes when one of those things goes up. So anyway, three meters working perfectly and somehow that just tickles my funny bone today that I got them working. Back to you, K-308.
