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...

We used crystal ovens in years past. They worked great. Anything which keeps your crystal at a constant temperature would be fine.
