Agilent 6890 anatomy - unbending hardware
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2018 7:32 am
I recently "adopted" a 6890 that has had a hard life; looks like someone dropped it a few times. I removed the left hand panel, and found it wasn't attached correctly. When I tried to attach it the right way, I found out the aluminum frame inside was bent.
It's too sturdy to straighten out without removing it. There are several rivets I can just drill out, but I don't know if there are any on the underside. Anyone know if this plate is attached anywhere from underneath?
My other question is with the split/splitless inlet. One of the supply lines to the inlet is terminated in a compression fitting.
Is this normal? Why would anyone do this?
I'm also missing an inlet cooling fan cover (G1530-40200), and a G1530-00610 pneumatics cover. If you have one or the other laying around, drop me a line.
