[ccp4bb] Rigaku X-ray Generator RUH3 for Sale
Dear Colleagues, we have an Rigaku RINT2000 Series, horizontal type rotaflex (RU-H3) rotating anode X-ray generator for sale at a nominal price plus lots of spare parts. The offer does not include the optics, the goniometer, any detector nor a water-cooling system. Included are all other units such as pumps and transformers required to run the generator . The purchaser would be responsible for collecting and transporting the generator from our site in Braunschweig, Germany prior to delivery of our new generator at the end of May 2008. Spare parts include: A complete, yet unused Cu-Target including the complete anode assembly. A complete anode assembly kit A box of 3 filaments (sealed) An unused Vacuum Gauge Tube A magnetic seal cassette (4980-3-2D) A sealed bearing (4555-0010) Various light bulbs, O-rings etc., etc. Overall, we would prefer one buyer taking the whole set, but failing this, we would pass on individual parts to interested parties. The offer is "as is". The HZI will not carry any of the costs of shipping parts and will not accept any liability for defects or losses incurred by the buyer. No warranties or guarantees. The generator's history: It was installed in 1999/2000 and was in use without major problems until 2005 when metal debris in the in-house cooling water corroded one of the targets from inside leading to flooding of the evacuated regions. Following extensive cleaning and the replacement of the TMP the system has been running with increasing reliability for the last one and a half years. For the last half year the reliability is essentially back to what it was originally.
