Abstract
Since the last Tandem conference in 1973 the MP laboratories at Heidelberg, Orsay and Strasbourg have upgraded their machines utilizing HVEC 14" stainless steel tubes, and Munich has installed NEC titanium ceramic tubes. All four machines are now insulated by 100 % SF6. Beyond that, the conversion programmes of all laboratories included various other measures aiming at improved voltage stability, heavy ion beam properties and transmission, at better component lifetimes or at reduced spark damage rates. In particular, at Heidelberg and Munich the charging belt was replaced by Pelletron chains. Actual performance characteristics of the converted machines and operating experiences are reviewed and some of their special features and problems are discussedKeywords
