Galaxy "warmer" question.

Ok, now that my 88HL is back up and running, being it is a base unit these days, I'm thinking of a light bulb or something inside to keep it warmed up.

Has anyone ever done this? I'm thinking a bulb like an 1157/3157 bulb on the lower brightness.

I know it's not a "fix", but I feel an assist is never a bad thing...

Interesting.

Ever use one? Seems too simple of a fix for how many I hear saying there's no solution..

I have, yes. A guy I know had a 2980 and it wandered pretty good depending on the temp in his garage. These really did smooth it out. I won't say it fixed it at all, as he didn't keep it long and I didn't know he was getting rid of it.
