Before doing all of this, the source got a thorough cleaning with some "insight" courtesy of Geoff Wilson up in Michigan, who also sold me the eMod. On his advice, I paid a lot of attention to parts I don't often-in particular the edges of the draw out plate, the "step" where the plate sits, and all of the lens apertures.
On a 5971, the manual tells you to leave the repeller at 14.99V unless you have a good reason to do otherwise. Autotune in my experience holds it there. I don't have a 5972 manual(I'd be enormously appreciative if someone has a PDF they could share) but I've noticed that autotune for the 5972 seems to not follow this. Usually, the repeller ends up around 25V. The ramps tell me that that isn't anywhere near the voltage I should be using for maximum abundance.
Does anyone here either run or remember running a 5972 and if so, what your repeller voltages typically were? I'm wondering if I need to investigate something else, or if this is normal.
