Hello Simona and All,</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="elementToProof">
On Friday I said the pins had fallen out due to maybe the pin not being crimped. I was having a difficult time getting the pin to crimp on Wednesday night making one cable. This was not the case with Mindy's cables. The pins were crimped on the cables that
were brought to us on Friday and the pins are still connected. There was no issue with the crimp. What happened was during the repair the center conductor was pulled back and caused the pin to pull back into the coax connector. As Mindy pointed out the cables
are so short that the center conductor is easily pulled back. A longer cable would not have probably seen this issue. We all(Mindy, Armen, and myself) now understand the issue and I would not say it will not happen again but we now know to look for the problem. </div>

We think we can still repair the bad cables however we would need to make them a bit shorter. (Not much) If the cables were<span> <span>½</span> inch to 1 inch shorter would this cause an issue? We would keep them as long as we can. If this would make them
to short we can make new cables but repairing is easier than making new. </span></div>

Also Simona, I'm not sure if you took the spare board today or Friday but we need that here to test the cables at voltage. We have seen problems and the only way to see the problem is with that board. I might have even have said it was okay to take not thinking.</div>

<div dir="auto">When I picked up good cables from Mark T. on Friday I noticed that both the HV and the signal pins were missing for bunch of them. Mark was pretty sure they were there when he inspected the cables earlier.</div>

</div>
<div dir="auto">Mark thinks that the wrong size crimping tool was used to make the cables which is why he was having issues making a new cable few days ago. </div>

Mindy was able to find enough parts that she will be able to make at least 100 spares if needed. All parts are on site. I know we are discussing making more than 100 maybe even 1200. </div>

Mindy sees the problem with the 4 cables that are shorted. I know the concern is insulation may be melted on more than 4. We could test any questionable cable to 1500V(As Ben suggested).</div>

Mindy has a meeting at 2:00 today and she will discuss with Amrit the need for more cables. Please advise on how many we are requesting Mindy to make, I think the thought was 20 for the immediate need.</div>
