Just wanted to give a quick update on the status of the tube furnace. I've gotten an initial quote on the replacement ceramic tube, and inquired about an educational discount. I'm waiting on a response to see if a discount is possible. They said they have this
 item in stock, so once ordered it should be fairly quick to get in, install, and get the tube furnace up and running. I will update you as I learn more.</div>
