Hello All, I have had an odd thing happen with one of our CX100 shipping dewars. It became obvious that it had lost its vacuum, cold outside, LN2 boiling off quickly. I pumped the dewar down, vacuum was not great but I figured I would test to see if it was holding vs. warming up immediately. It did not hold but when I went to mark it as bad I noticed the plug for the vacuum jacket was missing. It was not still on the vacuum connection and I know it was in there after pumping it down. I found it on the floor a fair distance from were the dewar was so I think it popped out on its own
Curious if anybody has had a similar experience. I am not sure whether it is worth the time to pump it down again or just surplus it and buy a new one.
