Had a First Class Electrician babysitting it. He even slept and ate in front of it. He had a huge ashtray that sort of smoldered next to him like an incense bowl. We always kidded him about "...praying to the great god Sperry". Had some other issues too that I can't remember any longer. They had everything working and missed it. We didn't and waved as we went by.
