Hi Fred,

Sounds like a great setup.

Expanding on my first comment, it is pretty interesting looking at an LM399 when
first 'activated.'  I recently brought up a second LM199 that I have had for
decades and never powered.  I charted the difference between the new one and one
that has thousands of hours on it.  Interesting to watch it settle in over a few
days.

Best regards,
