Dear Art,

I bought out most of the surplus from Advent and installed the first
1000A in a bar in NYC so I've been at this a while too.

Wow, are you talking about the old Advent projectors, white, stand in
the middle of the floor, looks a little like R2D2, has dozens of plug-
in boards inside, runs the tubes at around 50KV? I used to work on
those!!!

I serviced a few myself. I remember best the one on the fifty-something
floor of Lake Point Towers in Chicago. I had to "phone home", and the
customer's phone was on a three-foot cord plugged into a jack right by
an extremely large plate-glass window. My acrophobia insisted that I
crawl on hands and knees to the phone and keep my call short.
