Please help me fix this old Rock 'n' Roll laser! I discovered this old dinosaur and fell in love with it at first sight and pray it can be salvaged. Any suggestions and guidance for getting it fired up would be amazing.
Everything seems to power up properly but I believe the tube is shot.
Does anyone have replacement tubes for old copper vapour lasers like this anymore? I have been looking and asking around for quite a while and can't find any easy source so I thought I would ask you kind folks.
If tubes are not available is there anything that can be done with it beyond salvaging it for parts?
Here is what is on the label:
Microh C589422
CuBr Max Laser 10w
Pulse Energy .5mJ
510/580nm
Here are some pics:

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any help would be wonderful. -John/idk
