A large (water?) leak opened up with target close to max temperature. Water lines were pressurized in an attempt to identify the leaky line. The test yesterday were not conclusive and was repeated this morning with no He response. The vacuum did not improve over night.

With the leak detector pumping on the left coil line, a large leak could be confirmed at the soldering site.

NOTE: COIL PS is a 100 A supply, thus actual COIL current is 0.5x COIL set point.

Changed the FEBIAD connector blocks to have copper tubes exit below the block. Extended ANODE wire to allow it to be wrapped around Cu-tubes and keep it further away from the GE lines.
