FS: Laserscope 532, Ruby Lasers, & Chillers

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I've decided to let my Z-Fold Laserscope go because I simply haven't had time to play with it. The system is in great shape and works fine. I had planned to strip it down, but I've really only had time to fire it up, verify operation and that's about it. I've included a few pictures here for your review. This is a water cooled unit, but I am including a small chiller which will cool this system without breaking a sweat. This is a 220VAC Single Phase System. Asking SOLD.

I also have two Palomar EpiLaser Hair Removal Lasers. These units have a very hefty ruby laser in them and a good sized capacitor bank to power that. In addition to the laser, each system also has two chillers, one large Freon cycle chiller for cooling the laser itself and a smaller thermoelectric chiller for cooling the hand piece. Both systems are 220VAC Single Phase and in working condition. Asking $750 Or Best Offer plus actual shipping.

Next up, I have a Shaprlan EpiTouch hair removal laser. This unit is also a ruby laser, but it is significantly more compact than the Epilaser. In fact almost everything except for the laser itself in this system is built on a standard 19" rack mount frame which would make it easy to repurpose things like the chiller. This system only has one chiller, it is a Freon cycle unit packaged very neatly in a six rack space unit. Like the other systems, this is a 220VAC Single Phase unit. Asking $1500 or best offer, plus actual shipping.

Finally, I have several ThermoTek Solid State thermoelectric chillers. These are model T252P and none of them are in working order. I know that a couple of guys on here have repaired these in the past so if anyone needs parts these should be good for that, or they can probably be brought back to life without much work (which is what I bought them for). Asking $100 each Or Best Offer plus actual shipping.

I'm also open to parting any of these units out if you want to save on the shipping.

All of this equipment is currently at my warehouse and we have all of the materials and equipment necessary to correctly prepare it for shipping. We will supply all of that as well as the labor at no cost, you will just need to pay whatever the freight company charges us for the transportation.

I can accept payment in the form of check, wire transfer, or I can process your credit / debit card through my company (Bison Aviation, LLC). I don't accept paypal because they charge significantly more than my credit card merchant account processor charges.

If you have any questions or want to make an offer, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thanks,

John IV

Hi John -

Could you do me / the laser community a 'favor' / good-service, and NOT sell these to ANYBODY, unless they can provide you some PROOF they have at least SOME experience - at the VERY LEAST some safety-training classes, university education / vocational-schooling, etc - with Class IV / pulsed lasers?

Reason-being, it is the strong opinion of many seasoned-professionals, here, and abroad, that this very 'thing' (making these once 'nearly-unobtainable' (due to price) - and inherently DANGEROUS - lasers, available at such 'cheap' prices) is part of a growing problem in the laser-show community and industry.

This 'problem' is 'n00bs' / rookies - whatever you want to call them - obtaining these lasers - with little-to-no experience with pulsed, much-less Class IV, lasers, and building them-out in thier garages / shops, etc, into uncertified and - in some cases - wrecklessly-designed 'projectors', so they can go out and 'make a quick buck' (by drastically undercutting fair / industry standard prices...) with little to no care for compliance with the Federal regs and/or practices of safety.

Here is one 'shining' example, I like to post (cause a video is worth 1K words... ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t65_JJrLFZ8

... and, while some will retort, 'heh, that's just one stupid idiot...' - I say, 'yes, that has managed to rack-up over 10K views - with ZERO comments in-support of how dangerous this is / how you should 'not try this at home'... IMO, this *one* video is just the tip of a much larger 'idiot-burg'... And I, for one, appreciate seeing when sellers of these systems value public / personal safety, and doing things 'right' - over making a buck...:cool:

Of course, this does not apply to EVERYONE - there are, indeed, many 'responsible' hobbiest-level lasersists, here, and in the industry, but IMO, anyone 'qualified' to own these lasers should-be able to show you at least SOME measure of knowledge / completed training / experience before purchasing such-like lasers.

I, for one, (and I am nothing more than a concerned (for the welfare of ALL, not just myself) individual with ~ 18 years working with lasers - since my first Class IV training class... And, note: training came BEFORE owning Class IV / pulsed lasers...) would sure appreicate it, and I am quite sure there are others, here, that would back-me in 'requesting' this / would 'appreciate' it....

Thanks.
Jon

That Sharplan Epi-Touch looks interesting.

Do you think I am considered "Qualified" in your mind Jon?

I don't know, Ben - I have no knowledge of your training / background / education-level with the Class IV lasers you buy and sell - but since I know you don't (as far as I understand) perform or intend-to perform shows in-public, I certainly won't be having anything to say to you if you buy this guys' lasers - even if you buy his lasers and blow your eyes-out with them - that's all you, baby... :cool:

I am only 'speaking-up' here, to 'voice a concern' about seeing these classes / types of lasers FS to a forum, largely-composed of individuals with little-to-no experience / training with these types of dangerous-lasers, at prices that are 'achieveable' to many, withOUT seeing some sort of 'qualifying statement' (ie: ..."I will ask for your qualifications to own/operate such medical/surgical laser systems before you buy, so come 'prepeared'...) - I think that would be a responsible-position to take, as a seller of these types of lasers, that's all.

I know I'd certainly sleep better at night if I sold one of these to someone, and then found out they accidentally shot thier eyes out - but: I WARNED them / VERIFIED they knew what they were buying, and/or they PROVED they should-have known better... but that's just me, I guess...

Now, I don't want to hijack this Gentlemens' thread anymore than I already have, (sorry, jd...med) so if you want to counter-argue my opinion, let's start another thread, cool? :cool:

peace..

Offers anyone???

where are the lasers at
thanks jeff

Good Morning Jeff,

The lasers (and other equipment) are located at our shop in San Antonio, TX. We ship large / heavy items (aircraft parts) on a regular basis so we're set up to palletize and pack the equipment in a proper manner for shipping, we also get fairly good rates with most carriers for LTL truck shipments. Of course if you're near by you're more than welcome to stop by and check things out, we'll load into your truck while your truck as well.

Thanks,

John

Oh man... Don't tell me you're thinking about getting another monster laser, Jeff! *retardo

Shit dude - the Trinidyne is bad-ass enough, don't you think?

Adam

I am interested in the Shaprlan Ruby System. Could you give me a quote to ship to Cupertino CA?

Ben,

I sent you a PM, but just so that everyone else knows... in order to get a shipping quote for you I need the following information:

1. Ship-To Zip Code
2. Commercial or Residential Zone (note, shipping to your house, even if you operate a business from your house, will generally result in residential pricing because the shipping companies look at the zoning of the particular address, not what you are actually doing there).
3. Will a lift gate be required at delivery?

If you want a shipping quote just shoot over those three pieces of information and I will be happy to pull the quote for you.

Also, as an added incentive, I include the freight charges for delivery to buyers in the continental USA in my asking prices on the LaserScope and the Sharplan systems. In other words, buy either of those systems at my asking price and the shipping is free!

Thanks,

John IV

Anyone interested in the LaserScope if I knock the price down to $SOLD?

Thanks,

What's the cooling capacity of those chillers? Would one of them be good enough to cool a small frame mixed gas (e.g. SP168)?

I'd be especially interested in the 6U freon unit for that purpose. Would give a very compact system in a road case.

a small frame ion laser dissipates a minimum of 13kw for a little headroom bank on 15k

The larger chiller units might be capable of that, although I honestly don't have any specs that tell me what their rated thermal capacity is. The smaller unit (rack mount) might, but I would do some careful testing before I cranked things up full blast. Right now it's cooling a long pulse ruby laser and it's a big jump (in terms of heat energy dissipation) from that up to a water cooled ion rig.

I guess that's the long way of saying "I don't know". I will do some digging an see if I can find any specs.

Thanks,

John IV

WADR - the short way of saying it is "I do" *retardo

How about $SOLD for the LaserScope? We're moving to a new shop this week and I would really like to help it find a new home before we have to move it.

Same holds true for any of this stuff... if you're interested in any of it, shoot me an offer and we'll see!

Thanks,

John IV

Okay, if you see something you like, make me an offer that I can't refuse. I'd really like to get this stuff out before the end of the week so I don't have to move it twice.

Thanks,

Is the Sharplan still up for sale?

Shipping to the Netherlands in this case.

It sure is, if you'll PM me your full address I can get a quote on shipping it to you... it won't be cheap however - due to the size/weight of the system.

Thanks,

John IV
