Hi, I’m having tons of artifacts with this GE system, I’ve checked if there wasn’t bubbles inside the tube and it seems fine. I’ve checked every power supply and they also seem fine from the detector.
Can anyone please help me out?
I can share some photos.
Take a look at your calumniator. In the bottom is the gold filter that over time can fall apart. If your seeing odd ring artifacts, that's the next place. I've had this at least 4 times. The real issue is which calumniator do you have. If the filter is damaged, you may have to replace the whole thing. The older ones for the QXI are all one part. The newer version you can swap the filter. Also look for oil drops on the filter. The oil gets in there from the gears that open the shutter. You can clean that off, but be very very careful the filter is very thin.
