Not available, but may be needed.

Replacement "O" ring for chamber->gun vacuum tube, for the chamber-side mounting adapter. (Will this work? http://www.grainger.com/product/O-Ring-1RHY8)
- Tim G., SEM contact, says any old Viton o-ring is suitable.
- Ring measures 56mm Dia., 2.75mm thickness. Source

  If they're deformed (crushed) or leave a residue when press onto a clean surface, then they need replacing. But really, if the vacuum holds.. let 'em be. -Gatohaus (talk)

Inland 19 pump oil for Edwards E2M-12 roughing pump: http://www.sisweb.com/vacuum/sis/inland.htm ($30 per gallon) (needs confirmation that this oil is suitable)
- Pg. 4 of the manual recommends 0.8 liters of Edwards Ultragrade 19 http://www.edwardsvacuum.com/Products/H11025015/View.aspx ($17 per. liter). Plasma (talk) 08:38, 2 April 2014 (PDT)

IFF inspection indicates we need to refurbish the E2M-12 pump, we can buy a repair kit here for $110 (cheaper than from Edwards) http://www.pchemlabs.com/product.asp?pid=1896. Item number: A371-01-131. Plasma (talk) 09:59, 2 April 2014 (PDT)

Already at the space.

Apiezon M vacuum grease for "O" rings, to be used for vacuum seals at room temperature: http://www.2spi.com/catalog/vac/apiezon/apiezon-m.php ($70 for 25g). Edit: page 058 of the manual states "The use of O ring grease is not recommended on any O rings, but a small amount may be used, if necessary, on moving seals e.g. the specimen stage and apereture changer micrometers."
- 31Mar2014 - there's a syringe of Ap. T grease in the space (~2g). It's on top of the SEM's chamber atm.

Frequently burned up in normal operation.

E-Beam Emission Filament. Hopefully we can keep that item out of the 'RoutinelyConsumed' category by warming it up gently.
