Regarding the Al ISO-100 knife edge seal for the Delta Plus XP, I was able to locate a vendor in CA in addition to the vendor Bruce listed below:

Norcal
www.n-c.com
1-800-824-4166
P/N: ISO-100-MS-A
Price: $40.23 (as compared to the $87 that thermo charges)

Still looking for a source for the MAT253 ion source lamp wire, in case someone had some luck locate a "cheaper" source.

Thanks,

Nabil
