Morning All,

  A recently installed, used 500 Inova (Varian) has never given us the H
s/n expected. Regardless it hovers
between 200 and 290 (The lower with the used ID probe, the latter with a
new ID probe.)
I think the used ID probe should give us around 400 if it meets original
specs. The new ID
probe substantially better.

  Shimming - meets spec with spinning. Does not meet spec non spinning
(25 ish at half height).

  Probe changes (tried a couple) -- no real improvement
  Preamp
  Dual Mixer
  Receiver Board
     also fail to help.

We also see gradient strength about 50% what one would expect (from
profile test)-- Could
these defects have a common cause?

 There must be other components I haven't checked. I would be most
grateful for any pointers.

Regards,
  Carl
