Actually, this Polaroid photo was of the job that Dunbar did for Gary and me on re-evacuating. I mentioned this earlier in the thread, I think (or in another). The result was that the vacuum stayed for about a month, then the neck started getting the dreaded purple glow. Circa 1982.

Hey Charles, that's a cool pic. Makes me very nervous just looking at it. Not exactly clean room conditions. About that purple glow, did Dunbar apply VacSeal to all joints - including the evac nipple on the stem? A real shame that the tube lost it's vacuum. Say, I'd be interested in knowing how they pumped the tube - if you can remember the details.
