Dear All,
So it looks like the western US production BLM facility is down.
Therefore our normal vendor is unable to guarantee any helium, possibly
until 2022.
Eastern US production seems to be unaffected.
Thank you to everyone for suggestions, hints, and clues regarding suppliers.
We’ve been able to secure enough helium, however looking at 2x
to 3x times normal price ... ..but not much choice.
Thank you again to everyone,
Ryan
ps Maybe now the university will take a helium recycling/liquification
facility seriously ... ... one nevenows.
