The transfer line from the mass spec has a KF-16 flange, as is the case on all the 5973 and up MSs I've seen.
I guess I hadn't looked that closely at the E2M1.5 before, but it seems that even though the outside diameter of the flange is the same as a KF-16 flange, it doesn't look like it will work with a standard centering ring. Specifically, the recessed area looks significantly smaller.
This is the only major part I'm missing from this unit, and really all I need(I suspect) to get it up and going. Before I either order a KF-16 ring or bum one off a friend who I know will have one, do I need to hunt down anything special to work with this pump?
(this one also seems to have the oil leak that all of these develop after a few years, but I'm hoping I can patch it together by changing the cork seal between the pump body and the motor-this has worked for me in the past)
