If I'm ever in the neighbourhood I'll be sure to pop along - although I'm actually a cider drinker (how's that for a confession in North America?)
Anyone know a trick how to get the screws out of a D8 tube housing on a 3DOF without stripping the Torx threads other than getting a bigger hammer? - only joking BTW! These ones seem to be seriously tight. Waiting to hear from Madison on this one. The Scintag we have around is an old XDS2000 which isn't very well but it has other problems.

Come to St. Louis and I'll buy you a Budweiser! By the way, do you know of any need for an old Scintag/Seifert diffractometer - just the theta and 2-theta box? It's vintage 1982 or so from a horizontal diffractometer.

This one's got my vote! Right little hornet's nest this one opened up. Goes to prove yet again that email is an imperfect way to communicate. Face-to-face discussions over a beer are much more preferable. Anyway I have to pay for enjoying a long weekend by fixing one diffractometer and doing the maintenance on two others so no time today for any jousting by email.

If you want it, it's texture. If you don't want it, it's preferred orientation!
