Yeah, right next to the workbench actually. I'll do that the next time I'm down there.

That's the 8BU11 again. That's been giving me some strange behavior. I've got a spare coming, I wonder if the tube itself is acting up. I say that because the vertical collapse is a new issue, and that tube only recently started giving me trouble.
