Jan,
We feel the same way. The VT connection is a long standing problem on Varian
probes for which we have no good solution. I would very much like to see a
moe reliable connection on an otherwise fine probe. Now that Varian has
acquired Nalorac, maybe they will move to a bottom plug design rather than
the side. Other than the difficulty in aligning the sockets, the connections
are reliable.

Dear fellows Varian VT probe users,
I am not sure to what extent it is in line with "ammrl" policy but I
would like to start a discussion on the VT connectors on Varian probes.
In our laboratory the connector is a permanent source of troubles on
otherwise excellent probes (and spectrometers).
If you look at the recently introduced AutoX probe, you see the same
obsolete connector used again.
I cannot believe that ours is the only laboratory complaining about
these connectors?
Has anybody found a good solution eliminating the losses of VT control
(besides using rubber bands)?
With the best regards,
Jan Schraml

Dear Varian users,
We have a probe of our Inova 500 where the VT- connector on the probe is damaged
we like to replace the connector does any one know a supplier of these connectors.
With best regards / met vriendelijke groeten
