[labnetwork] Cryo-Torr 8 vs. 10

[Iulian Codreanu]

Dear Colleagues,

I have had a number of Cryo-Torr 8s over the years and they have worked 
very well after occasional rebuilds.  Now I have a Cryo-Torr 10 that has 
been giving us a lot of trouble even though we had it looked at a number 
of times. The companion 9600 compressor works well as we have put it on 
other systems.

I am looking into getting a cryo/compressor as spares that would cover 
all my cryopumping needs. It would make sense to get bigger pump but the 
recent issues with the Cryo-Torr 10 give me pause.

In your experience, do the Cryo-Torr 10s tend to be more problematic 
than the Cryo-Torr 8s?

With many thanks,

Iulian
