Firing up a little argon?

[Things]

Got mine started again as well. As of now, it's been on for 12 hours continuous for the start of its 2 day+ burn in.

At max current the PSU can handle, I've got 8 lines:

7 you may say, but there is a very faint violet dot next to the blue line.

While waiting for the argon to burn in, I discovered file extensions don't mean crap

Right click on this image and look at the URL

OK, the argon has just finished its 2 day burn in. I'm letting it cool right down, and see if I can get it to fire relatively easily Fingers crossed

EDIT: OK, it seems a lot more tempted to start, however it still doesn't start on the first click

It also seems a lot more tempted to fire down the capillary. If I leave it at idle current, usually it's strike down the capillary instead of the bore

Your argon sure needs some TLC before its gonna work properly, thats for sure.

Ah crap, I replied to something way back in the first post >.<

OK, just an update on this. I haven't touched the argon for a few months now, however i hooked it up again tonight. Left the current at idle, and attempted to fire it up. It lit down the capillary the first 2 times, however the 3rd try it took to the bore

However, my alignment has gone out of whack (again), so I've lost all but 2 of the lines.

What does this mean? Is my argon getting better (Apart from lighting down the capillary)?

I need to find some sort of adjustable way of aligning it, since my current setup just drifts off over time.
