> Hi Dr Faull,
> Here's the message:
> "We just bought an old Waters Micromass LCT Premier from some place in
Canada (Spectralabs) and it took them 6 weeks to get it to us and then we spent
7 weeks trying to get it set up and working (via Zoom!) and now they say we
need to send it back so they can fix it--they refuse to send anyone here
because they think all Americans have Covid. There's no way my boss is going to
send it back to them. We are DESPERATE, so if you know of any place or can ask
someone else who has had to try to maintain a mass spec on a budget in the Bay
Area, that would be incredibly helpful!"
