Mike,
We have one partially functional Nuclide 6-60-RMS (1976-1978 vintage) and
parts from a Nuclide 3-60-RMS (dismantled and cannabalized for other uses).
Which source or emission control do you have? We are now using a MEC-4 from
the 3-60-RMS.

I am curious if anyone in the community is familiar with old Nuclide brand
IRMSs. I am currently having problems with our VERY old Nuclide and was
hoping someone would have some insight into what might be going on. A
quick bit of info without bogging down the list: signal went to zero while
analyzing the standard gas. Magnet is functional, filament is showing
current, trap is showing voltage, and emission ion accelerating potentials
look fine. However, when I switch from the manual regulation of trap
current to the “reg trap current” position, the signal and voltage readout
go to zero.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
