Re: [Histonet] cryostat repair--thanks!
The compressor fan was loose, so when the Tech One guy fixed it, instead of making a horrible noise when it turns off, it just rattles. Oh well, time for a new motor. Which leads me to another question, is there any reason I should call Lecia to replace this motor? The guy from Tech One Biomedical seemed to know his stuff, but my boss seems to think we should call the people who made the cryostat. Personally, I think that would be spending a lot more money for the same thing, but maybe I'm missing something. Any suggestions? By the way, the cryostat is from 2008 and isn't under warranty. Emily A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted. You should live several lives while reading it. -William Styron On Fri, Apr 1, 2011 at 3:15 PM, Victor Tobias vic...@pathology.washington.edu wrote: So what was the problem?

The Tech One guy would do the same thing for much cheaper. -Original Message- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Emily Sours Sent: Tuesday, April 05, 2011 10:11 To: Victor Tobias; histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: Re: [Histonet] cryostat repair--thanks!

RE: [Histonet] cryostat repair
Emily You can try Ray Brodersen at Brodersen Instrument Co, they are in Mars and do most of our repairs. Ray does an excellent job at a good price. It sounds like the bearings in your fan or maybe the compressor.
