[labnetwork] Veeco Dektak Guru?

[Mac Hathaway]

Hello Lab Network,

We have a Veeco Dektak profilometer that lost it's motherboard (blown 
caps), and after attaching it to a new PC, we're having some trouble 
getting it back up.  We're looking for an after-market Dektak guru who'd 
be willing to consult with us, or perhaps come to our site to give the 
unit a good going-over.  Does anyone know of a good free-lance tech who 
might be interested in helping us out?  The brand is now owned by 
Bruker, who are reluctant to help out very much, given the unit's vintage.

Barring that, if someone has experience resurrecting one of these after 
a hard-drive transplant, please feel free to contact me off-line.

Thanks!
