Abstract
Multiyear photometry and orbit-resolved spectroscopy of the nova-like cataclysmic variable PG 1000+667 show behavior associated with the VY Sculptoris subclass of nova-like cataclysmic variables. Photometric ob servations over a 35 month interval from Indiana University's robotic telescope Robo-Scope show two drops of 3 mag to a low state. Spectrosc opy shows a periodic velocity variation in the HE emission line with P = 3.47 hr. This places the star just above the 2-3 hour period gap, w hich supports the VY Sculptoris classification.
