Today we re-installed the SRS RGA100 analyzer after having replaced its fried filaments and CDEM last Friday.  We leak checked the new joints but won't be able to test the basic functionality until tomorrow.  Assuming that every thing works, it will still be "weeks" before VBOD can process bake loads as the SRS RGAs are impossible to bake out effectively as the result of near zero conductance resulting from poor focus plate design - if anybody has an extra $20K in their budgets, please send it our way.  The newer aLIGO-era RGAs pay for themselves in production up time and minimal man hours to Futz with.
