Argon laser

[djmatt]

This is my first Argon,and I have to say it rocks!!!!!!
Heres some pics.
Now some are with the glass color wheel, which I belive to be a diachronic color wheel form a dead studio spot, which was about 20 years old.

Yep, looks like my old argon; it was my second argon and first multiline. I think it has 7 or 8 lines which was the really good thing about it. Nice room heater. It was at SELEM II last year.

[djmatt]

Oh cool!!
Well this is my first time playing with one. And I have plains for it, maybe have it ready for SELEM..I hope!!

Yeah!!! you go that right!!!!!!
My room goes form 68 to about 78 in oh about 7 mins. But hey its cool!!!

JEEZ! I had this baby how long? I never once had the chance to open it up and look inside like that... you've had this less than 24 hours... and it's already been dissected?

Good pictures man... make them bigger... now you make me want to see more details...

Might as well post up some of the multi-line goodness I've taken of this thing not too long ago.

Best of all, I'm really happy you like it and that it made it there safely and quickly

Getting your first argon is a bit like loosing your virginity. its brilliant and you will never forget it.

Im going to try if I get time to run the galvos I have form that dead RGY laser, with this one, and see what happens!!!

I clean my room up just so I could put this one and all the rest on top of my dresser!!!
Now as long as the floor doesnt fall out,Ill be good!!!
Ive got my RGBV rig on there, the HeNe, the other HeNe, and the argon up there

I believe Mr. Gus has one like this. Beautiful glass end bell.

Nice argon djmatt, I also like the end bell, I bet it's pretty when its running. I see it's outputting 8 lines, how much power does it put out?

[djmatt]

Its sweet!!! I love it!! I have plans for it
I found a piece of gradiant, that makes hundreds of beams!! Ill try to get some pics. of it up soon!
Now the bell part is the part on the back. right?

It says on the back 57mw. But its still very bright!!

Probably, it's the part where you can see the cathode filament.
