Don't worry about the rejuvenator. I'm not even close to seeing one in real life, let alone having one in my hands to fool around with. There's a few other things I'd like to try, involving adjustments and circuitry, first. I'm not even sure I know what I'm doing with that yet...after doing some reading I find I might have gone about adjusting the yoke and ion trap all wrong. And there's a couple of adjustments in the high voltage section that I have no clue about. One is a screw painted red, with a silver screw next to it. I'm going to have to read up some fine print in the Riders and SAMS to see if there's any mention of it.
