  Replaced highpass broadband red filter on PMT 2 (top center) with 427.8 nm narrowband blue filter (borrowed from R. Rairden, Lockheed Palo Alto) using aluminum ring adapter; replaced base of PMT 1 with flat base from old FlysEye PMT to align with PMT 2.  These changes are adaptive and easily reversible.
