.. Yup, once in a while the scanner bearing seal or water in the
motor
housing would let the scanner main bearing get corroded or filled with

I have, a couple of times, managed to successfully break, bend or
otherwise defeat the waveguide alignment scheme. Targets were not all

lively, and wiped out the crystals in fairly short order. Probably

didn't do
the maggie too much good either. Head hanging in shame. Again.
