All:

The rebuilt elevation drive has been installed on the telescope and is
currently undergoing testing.  Mechanically it seems to work fine, and the
servo amplifier electronics will need to be retuned "on the sky."   If the
weather permits, we will do on-sky test during twilight to verify the
elevation axis performance.  Otherwise, we will pre-empt about a hour of
time to tune the servo at the first available opportunity.

Scheduled science users of the telescope should stay on standby, and
contact the site for updates on weather and/or telescope status.
