Well hopefully all will be well with the laser. Either way, I think it was a good price he got for it. In my opinion, the 60X is the best of the small argon heads. They sure can take a beating! I've had several through the years and I am down to my last one, but just can't see parting with it. I haven't bothered to power it up in about a year though! Anyway, I looked around on ebay and found the coil that is perfect for firing up an old high pressure head: http://cgi.ebay.com/ELECTRO-TECHNIC-...QQcmdZViewItem
That auction is already over, but that is what you would need. These things work great, I've had two but both have since died and are not repairable. Gotta be careful with them though, somehow, after using one in my office on a 60X head, it fried my parallel port in my pc on the other side of the room! Oh, and if your using one to try and light an old Ionics tube, don't lean on the frame while hitting it with the tesla coil! (What a ride!)
