<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We have a Gatan 655 Turbo Pumping Station and 626 Cryo Transfer Holder that have sat unused for a number of years. The pumping station has been ‘on’ consistently pulling
vacuum on the 626 holder, but the gauge is not working. I was hoping the community had a lead on replacement kits for the Diaphragm pump and the MDP (originally Kit #10546 and #05577, respectively) as no maintenance has been done on the pumping station for
at least 3-4 years. The instruction manual that I have for the 655 has instructions to ‘service the Cold Cathode Gauge Tube’ which essentially entails blowing it out with compressed air—how often does this actually fix the gauge when it the needle is reading/stuck
to the far-right of the gauge?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
