TIF 9100V Vacuum Pump Problem
As a retired electronic engineer, I have had at least a casual interest in both high-vacuum and mechanically-pumped vacuum techniques. Recently I ran into a vacuum problem with my TIF 9100V vacuum

Re: vacuum wax help?
Not really, no. The chip shortage has really tanked my revenue. Besides, this is a bit of an antique instrument, and I'd really like to get it working in its original configuration. And further, I've

I have no idea if the Angel Guard overcoat can be applied on a fresh Al coating. Sounds like an experiment that needs trying out! The application of their overcoat is much like applying a coat of

Guy, That process looks amazing. As I already have a monster aluminizing vacuum chamber I can do aluminum and not have to redo the mirror every 6 months here in FLA. But I am very interested in that
