Testing the HV bias I found that the einzel lens was behaving strangely. When I tried to put it higher than 1kV, the current would start spiking from 12uA to > 100uA. The voltage would jump around quite a bit as well (+/- 100V). Everything seems the way it was before, except the EZL power supply is still connected in parallel with the old bias power supply, which is no longer powered. Maybe one of the transorbs connecting line and neutral on the bias side is fried? I will unhook the connection to the old PSU and try again.
