    Default All gas lasers!

    Since my last thread seems to have a broken title, I figured I'd just start a new thread so it actually got attention.

    So I am on the look out for pretty much anything gas or ion related.

    HeNes
    HeCds
    Argon
    Krypton
    Mixed Gas
    etc

    I will accept all HeNes from 543.5 to 632.8. As far as the 632.8, I only want it if it's a bare tube, or high powered. If it's a Uniphase head, I will still buy it as those are easy to make dual ended tubes out of by rewiring the end cap.

    When it comes to HeCd, even if you don't know if it works, I will still be interested in a PM simply telling me of it's existence. I will then go from there with the details you provide on whether I want to make a purchase.

    With Argon. Sinlge phase 110V only please. Air cooled preferred, but I can probably work something out to get water flow for a water cooled. Though will take some looking in to. Message me if you're interested, and I will see what I can do. I only want healthy tubes single line or multiline, low hours. I don't need a tunable. I've got one, and beyond looking cool and having the ability to select colors, it's pointless. That's not to say I don't like them, I think they're easily the coolest of them all, but pointless when it comes to optics testing. With this particular tube, the only two lines NOT coming in (currently an 8 line) are the 454 and 528. These lines will not come out with external optics. Only with some really good cleaning, or a healthy tube. So. Single line or multiline only, fresh tube, etc. REALLY looking for either an Omni 532, or Uni 60X.

    With Krypton. Same applies. Minus the model number. When it comes to Krypton, I will accept a tunable. Yes it's pointless in the realm of my testing. However, I can accept the uniqueness, and it will receive the care it needs to stay healthy.

    If you have an Omni 532, or Uni 60X, don't worry about selling me the PSU. I have one, they are interchangeable, and I don't need the clutter in such a small dorm. So just the heads please!

    Also have another PSU that should work for a number of other tubes, however it is currently KIA. Working to repair it, but it's not going to be as easy as the OMNI 150 (the PSU for the 532).

    All that being said. If you have a gas or ion that you want to sell, and it doesn't meet those requirements, still PM or email me about it. I will gladly consider it, and I might even sway and pull the trigger anyway. I will eventually move, I might have 3 phase some day, or 220V

    Thank you for reading!

    I will be posting videos of all of my testing on youtube. I will eventually make a thread for them all, and just update when a new video is up.

    I am just getting into the thought of getting a mixed gas.

    These are already tunable right? Or do they just output a static white beam?

    Is that hose easily replaceable/repairable?

    Who are you?

    I have a bundle of bare tubes somewhere in the back of my garden shed.... All very low power I think...

    No idea what they are, if they lase, or if they're any good to you at all... But you can have the lot for cost of shipping & packing if you want 'em.. They're just gathering spiders at the mo
    If in doubt... Give it a clout?

    I have a Liconix HeCd that works but is misaligned. Helium pressure is high but should lase 441.6 nm. I want it off my bench. It is UV 354 nm, a rare line but I have a blue mirror set. $150 plus shipping. Best, Phil

    I have:
    - a Coherent highlite Argon, complete and in working condition, tube ok, but somebody switched the optics and now power is low and fluctuating
    - a Coherent Purelight Innova 70, complete and in fully working condition, power >4 W all lines, with Innova PSU and remote in good condition
    - two Coherent Innova 70 PSU's, complete, but with passbank circuitboard and transistors damaged. For spare parts. No other damage that I know of.
    - a Coherent Purelight Star laser head, complete, but with tube up to air. Connection at cathode broke so it pulled air in.
    All these reside in Belgium, Europe. Shipping these beasts is possible.
