Big Thunder is offline, likely until this weekend (Oct 8-9th).
@cvrana and I ran into @ladysandry who asked about the small note on the control panel. We took a look and the head is completely ruined (looks like fire-related damage, the outside is covered in carbon, the air hose is melted into the head assembly, and then the lens is completely shattered with a hole through it). Will plan on coming back up this weekend to try and replace things to get Big Thunder operational again. In the mean time, I’ve left the lens tube laying on the bed and will be putting an “out of order” sign on Big Thunder.
