The shots of the Mamas & Papas came off a DVD I recently found that talks about their history and shows great performances they did on shows like Ed Sullivan and Shindig. Watching on a color roundie is great! Lots of 60's colors on their clothes and the stage. I've loved their tunes since i was a kid. They were one of my mom's favorite groups, and the exposure I had to their music grew on me at a very young age.

After being aggrivated by vertical drift last night, I decided to monitor the B+ for a while. Specs call for it to be about 275 volts. I found it slowly go up and down... mainly down. At one point, it was riding around 235 volts. The highest it would go was 270. I've plugged in a new 5U4 and now the B+ seems more stable. A little low at 262 volts, but at least it's not drifting all over the place. I'll run it this way for a while and see how it works. I did have a little bit of drift on the vertical earlier, but it wasn't enough that I couldn't adjust to correct it. I'll tear it apart again later to see if there is somthing I've overlooked. It's possible I could also have a resistor that's drifting in value as the chassis heats up.
