Re: HeNe-laser ML500

Interesting how the label mentions 543nm - 3um. Is it a tunable unit?

Let me do some searching.

EDIT: Hold it!

I think its tunable.

http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/brochures/#brcsho

Try and short (or open) the key switch by replacing the switch with a regular one.

A tunable HeNe is quite rare. Lets keep looking for more info.

Dang, 14 lines?

It also has a Hard sealed tube, which shouldn't suffer higher pressure deaths.

Interesting lines in there. 629, 611, 640...

Do you know, does it have the multi-line mirrors? Or the single line optics?

Have you been able to get it to lase at all the visible lines?

Re: HeNe-laser ML500

Well that was FAST. Thanks for that quick an informative response.
That depicted unit is nearly exactly what I have. It does not have that circular lens/mirror but is most definitely adjustable. Many (5) dials marked.

When I had the key it was a visible beam, and bright spot. I never adjusted anything.
The switch has about 6 wires landed and I would not know which ones to close???
I don't necessarily feel comfortable doing that.

That is the beast though! Very awesome. Any idea of value?

I can get more pics and macro of any area you may want/need.
And thank you again for the enlightenment.

Re: HeNe-laser ML500

Well this gem is up for grabs!
I completely understand the "wow factor" of this unit as it has been a prized possession of mine for some time. However my recent obsession with more portable units far supersedes this big lug.

I go camping quite a bit with close friends and the next time we're under the stars I'm damn sure going to have a show for them.

Anyhoo, I have done some research and have a general idea of value (very general)
And considering the key-switch issue I would accept offers accordingly.
Despite the key this unit is in very good condition.

I would even be willing to donate a portion to the site and use a 3rd party veteran member (if willing) to complete a fair transaction.

I have my heart set on a powerful 532nm green (500mW or higher) Handheld laser,
a blue (1W or higher) handheld....both flashlight style.
With goggles, batteries and chargers.
Goggles optional, I can always get my own. (with spillover [if any] in usd divided up between the site and I)

Phew! lol, thats a nice list.
I am literally green with envy!
Call me cliche but I must have one....two... (I already know this is going to be a long and expensive hobby)

Excited?
I am

It doesn't look like the optic is in that mount, which makes finding it rather moot and the HeNe still not tunable. :undecided:

You are very helpful, thanks!
I believe I have it....must have it. Looking.
I have found a few places online that may have it. (Qioptiq Products | Product & Brand Finder | Alphabetical List or SPINDLER & HOYER Brand - FindOwnerSearch there are many others who could even have a slightly different style that will work.

worst case I can contact the previous owner, friend of the family works @argonne laboratories. He can point me in the right direction if its necessary.

It is still a whole lot in mix. There is plenty of goodies in there.

From what I have learned about the value of these my current offer seems pretty amazing.

I want to be fair of course and will keep feeling it out. I really just want my new ones :) and to give these a new home

If I can't find the lens and I haven't made a deal, I am going to drop the asking price.

Sorry slightly OT, but whereabouts in chicagoland do you go camping? I always head out west towards rockford for any decent camping with my friends, wasn't sure of anything closer to the city....

Trevor, wasn't the variable optic vs a fixed OC mirror an option? Could that unit just have one of the fixed lines?

irritatediance: Has it been fired up? Maybe it's not 633.

Sorry, not to threadjack, but if he sells his Siemens HeNe and people want more, PM me as I have about 5 of them (w/ the same metal mount).

Edit: I will say though (which may help your sale), that these HeNe's are very nice w/ the mount, and on the front is an adjustable neutral density filter which allows you to have your HeNe have different power outputs. Of course, most of us here would probably take it off though to have maximum output, but the little filter may come in handy.

Seeing that it is without the extra wavelength option I am only asking for this one laser:LZSK - 532nm 500mW Green Laser Pointer w/ Case + Googles with $5 battery option.

And $75 donation to the site.

I honestly feel this to be disproportionate but I am eager and them collecting dust is no longer an option.
Look at all these items...for next to nothing.

Danefx....yeah not sure about camping close to the city. Kinda pointless imo, we like to escape that. Panther state park is very cool. Starved rock is even better. There are TONS of places to camp in IL. And the dells right over the border.

Hope you make a sale alex. You'd prob fair better with pics and info in another thread. But glad for the help...


And yes, I have personally fired up 3 of these. The spindler just has lost keys. I need a power source for the others. Anyone know what kind will work for them?
I'd like to showcase as I know they will move then. Even so, a willing middle man can fire 'em up if need be.
