Hey Joe - Someone could put one of their extra SX88's in there if it was deep enough :) I'd have to go with a rack mount HRO or spare Viking 1. Everything else here is 10 3/4. Good Luck. Scott In a message dated 08/26/09 17:18:49 Central Daylight Time, jdu...@bellsouth.net writes: I recen

if the blue glow is on the glass, it is electron bombardment, normal. if it is inside the plate let them sit for a day or so with just fil voltage and try again. bet it is on the glass., the impact area will eventually get a little dark. Bernie - Original Message - From: "Jack Griffin"
