•RF Hardware
–(original) Copper tuner cooling lines are
beginning to spring leaks. Difficult to repair because they’re
hot.
•High Level RF
–More or less original.
–Our highest maintenance item.
–Will probably last, BUT expensive to
maintain.
–John Reid and Ralph Pasquinelli feel a new
solid state system would pay
for itself ($5.5M) in about four years.
•Low Level RF
–Many old modules, some without spares,
some without drawings.
–An upgrade plan in place.
–Not expensive, but NEED people.
•Personnel!!!!
