Dear Isogeochemists

I would be interested in views or experiences on what one can do with
old, outdated mass spectrometers.

We have a MAT/Varian/Finnegan M86 and two Varian/Finnegan GD 150
instruments (vintage late 1960's) that were taken out of action more
than a decade ago. The electronics will not be much good, I suppose,
but the vacuum parts, ion source and gas handling side should still be
in working condition. It seems a shame to turn them into scrap, but
locally nobody is interested in building them up into anything useful.

Any ideas?
