Hi Julia,
Sorry to hear about your Leybold Mag Drive turbo controller. I have been dreading the day our (last) Mag drive 1000 dies. I acquired one as backup a few years ago but the drive in use died and was not able to be repaired. So we are down to our last one and its currently in use.
I have spent some time looking at the control signals and the good news is that I think you can interface a different pump controller. We were under the impression for a long time that the interface was something special and required a $100k STS retrofit (that included the new turbo and controller). I've gotten as far as understanding the Leybold interface and making some notes on how I think it operates. I have been planning on figuring out how to install a replacement controller that can utilize the existing STS interface signals but I haven't started that.
If you get to the place where you just have to put on a different turbo, I would be happy to share what I've generated.
Good luck!

We have an older STS DRIE with a Mag 900 CT turbo pump on our DRIE. The controller (MAG.DRIVE 1000) for the turbo pump wont power up and has died. So, I am trying to locate a functioning/refurbished controller. I know these parts are getting very scarce (PTB Sales dos not have one, even though their website says otherwise) so any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
