Dan, can you apply your >newly-invented cleaning tool to the other MTP connector? Both MTP connectors got the treatment, so it isn't likely that cleaning the alignment holes again would change things. We'll have a look. > 180-liter dewar #5 has a slow leak at the main liquid valve. When the valve >is turned off, the leak stops. The plots show that sp2 is loosing weight faster than sp1 even when not connected (but at a far from alarming rate). Bob, could you check the dewars? If it looks like there might be an issue, swap dewar #5 (presumably on sp2). Cheers, Dan
