Charles--
We have been successful with all of our moves. A 270 Oxford widebore, a
Varian 200 R2D2, and a Spectrospin 600 were all moved here and there with no
problems. All were brought down to replace the o-rings which is really a
good idea. However, the moves were all accomplished successfully, I
believe, because we had great service engineers to do it.
Good luck.

>Subject: moving old magnets
Dear Fellow Resonators,
We are being asked to move a 15 year old narrow bore 400 magnet to a new
location in the building where it now is. It will have to go up one floor in
an elevator. Does anyone have experience moving such old systems? Has anyone
tried to move one live? Did you change the seals as part of the move?
(Obviously, that wouldn't be a live move.) Our magnet is working well where
it is with good homogeneity and low cryogen consumption. It has never had
the sticks back in since it was originally installed.
Any experiences, good or bad, that you care to share would be appreciated.
Charlie
