ITMy Ring Heater Forensic
Thanks to the efforts of SUS I was able to get in and look at the ring heaters of ITMy today. There are no apparent problems with breakage of either the glass formers or the macor retaining pieces. However, the center macor piece (D1002545) looks to have wandered off center quite significantly. I didn't have any pictures from that angle while the quad structure was still in chamber. So, unfortunately, I am unable to determine when it wandered off, but it definitely warrants looking at ITMx closely before it leaves BSC 3 if possible. 

It should be noted that this is the older style of ring heater, but the macor element standoff is the same throughout all but the most recent version.

As requested a picture with a few labels, showing how the macor has wandered off the center point where it should be.

The old ring heaters on ITMy have been removed from the old quad structure. While I was packaging the upper and lower ring heater I noticed quite a bit of particulate coming out. Looks like glass, certainly warrants a closer inspection.
