I agree; I think it's got plenty of life left. No problems starting the tube either, so yeah - it should be fine for quite a while.
I was just commenting to Steve that re-gassing smaller tubes just isn't worth it. (I wasn't trying to imply that your tube needed a re-gas.)

The 60B is higher power than the 60X and could be re-ocularized ( i just made that word up)for maybe 100mw?
-edit OK- -the optics could be changed for multi-line ~higher mw? If it's still $325 shipped then I think I can scrape up that and send you a check or MO as promised. PM/email sent.
Sorry steve-o I just dont know the power ratios between optics but 100mw seems like a good guess if you put the 7line optics in it. Steve Roberts might have a better answer for this

It is indeed SOLD to steve-o
I'm just a sucker for blue multi-line argons, and I dont care about blanking--oop<blasphemy>
Just the colour is amazing to me oooohhhh ------------------- and the patterns with a couple of galvos.. ..sends me...... ahhhh... over the rainbow-------------------------------------------------------------__________________________________________________ _______________________________________
ha, well stay in touch. I might very well get rid of all but two of my argons coming up. All work. Ranging from coherent i-90s, i-100s, lexel 88, lexel 95 and god knows what else
Sorry, I don't think my back could take it..
Dont you need scaffolding and a crew for some of that stuff??
