[AMMRL] Off axis shims bad after 24 hours on 40-year-old Oxford magnet #Bruker #Hardware

Hello,

We have an Avance NEO with a Helium cryoprobe in our ~40-year-old unshielded
500 MHz magnet (vintage Oxford 500/51).  Recently I've noticed that I
need to do a 3D shim more and more frequently.  So I did a test: I 3D-shimmed
the magnet on the Solvent Suppression test sample (i.e. 2 mM sucrose, etc.,
90% H2O/10% D2O), wrote the shim file, inserted our test sample (sealed 30% Menthol
in CDCl3), locked, topshimmed (params: convcomp, ordmax and collected a 1D proton
without spinning. Everything looked good.  24 hours later, I inserted the Menthol
test sample, read the saved shim file, and collected a 1D proton without spinning
(using the same steps outlined above) and it looked like garbage.  I collected
a 1D proton with spinning and the data improved a bit but didn't return to the quality
of the original spectrum.

If you have an ideas what might be going on, please let me know.

Thanks!

Wendy
