[meteorite-list] Brenham Stabilized with vacuum treatment

[tett]

It just so happens I have a vacuum chamber.  It has been kicking around my 
place for 15 years and I think it is still good.  This is a large industrial 
machine that my work wanted to scrap.

Who would have thunk it!  Now just need some rusters to try this out.
