hello list!

last friday being my birthday, i found myself at the albuquerque auction.

there it was...

so i brought the fts 4060 home and began reading... (many thanks to brooke
clark)

put it all back together and fired it up.

now it has been running for many hours.  no lock.  the readings are in range
and the control is being swept 0-5 for each .1 increment of the beam
current.

i am guessing that the tube (which has probably been off since 2007-8) needs
a lot of vacuum pumping.

is that a good guess?

many thanks

dave
