Subject: Cryostat Problems & Advice
Hello to All,
Within 2.5 years, we have gone through two Microm HM560. Both problems
appear to be condenser related (the present unit has not been formally
diagnosed to date as I have just been informed that it needs to be shipped
back to the vendor for this purpose). I will request a demo during the
repair process. I may even request a permanent down-grade replacement for
my 560 which is suppose to experience fewer problems. A quick search on
the ever helpful Histonet search engine does not support this
statement. It appears that the models 500 and 505 have reputations for
recurrent problems as well. Is this the case? Can anyone provide
information on the 505 E model? I am interested in hearing from both
satisfied and dissatisfied users. I am especially interested in recurrent
problems, reliability, disadvantages, and any other useful information you
may have. If the earlier models have just as many problems, then I will
keep my repaired 560 or sell it and purchase from a different vendor
altogether. For the record, the cryostat was purchased before I arrived!
Thanking you (immensely) in advance for any assistance you may be able to
provide!
