Dear ListServe members:
Thanks for all your replies.  I was able to get the new laser aligned without too much 
trouble.  Just took making a simple alignment tool out of a 50ml conical tube.  To those of 
you with MicroRadiance 2000s, I would like to build a user group list of people interested in 
keeping these instruments functional as long as possible.  We could routinely share our 
experiences with maintenance issues and work to ensure "moth-balled" instruments are 
preserved as future sources of parts.  If you want to participate (or if this already exists?) 
please reply directly to 
[hidden email].  
thanks,
michael
