The binary star SS Lac in the open cluster NGC 7209 was reported to be variable by Hoffmeister in 1921, and subsequently analyzed by both Dugan & Wright (1935), and by Wachmann (1936). In the early 1990's Zakirov & Azimov, Schiller & Milone, and Mossakovskaya all reported that eclipses had ceased, somewhere between 1935 and the early 1950s. Lehmann (1991) suggested that the orbital inclination of the binary has been decreasing at a rate of 0.18 deg/y. Spectroscopy carried out by Schiller & Milone (1995) suggested that there appeared to be no RV variation; however, high S/N and resolution RV spectroscopy by Tomaselli & Munari (1998) who used only the Balmer lines (H alpha , beta , & gamma ), has now revealed the SB2 RV curves and provided spectroscopic elements. They also present evidence of a sharp-lined 3rd component outside of the H-lines at the cluster velocity. Since, according to good practice, Schiller had omitted the broad, noisy H-lines from his Cross-Correlation analysis, this component dominated the earlier RV results. Beginning with the Tomaselli & Munari elements, we have analyzed and rephased the the radial velocity curves and are analysing available light curves from each epoch to test the hypothesis of variable inclination.
