it seems you fixed the problem while I was typing my reply.

I had recently seen a small bit on the history channel about the prospect of raising the turret as soon as the weather was right. No further news though since our TV was fried by lightening again.

Sure would have been nice if they could have done the salvage and recovery operations back in '73.
