Dear NMR friends and colleagues,
We have a 2.35 T Nalorac magnet, vintage 1986, 125mm bore, at NIST that was once Dave VanderHart's (my previous postdoc advisor). We are renovating the lab and we would like to de-energize, move, store temporarily, move back, then re-energize the magnet. We still have the power supply, but the Y-cryo shim in the power supply is damaged and needs to be repaired/replaced. It definitely needs some care before we try to energize the magnet back up. Does anyone know (1) where I could find a power supply replacement (to buy or borrow), or (2) anyone who can fix the power supply?
Our alternative is building a protective box around the magnet, which we may do, but I am finding out that there could be complications with OSHE regulations and red tape regarding stray fields > 5G.
Any advice or help you could give would help a lot!
Thanks,
Ryan
