I thought I might get a little more interest if I gave this it's own thread.
I'm putting my argon up for sale, I only use it once a month anyway so hopefully someone else can get more use of this. It's a really nice laser, a Uniphase 2214-40MLA. It's in excellent shape, hardly a scratch on it (if any.) The cooling fins inside are clear and clean, it really doesn't look like it saw much use.
The power supply is matched for this laser, it's a 2214P-40MLA. It's the so called "golden" power supply, part of it's name coming from the easy voltage selectors on the front and partly because of it's color
The controller is homemade, it has all of the normal functions; current/light tuning, beam on/off, run/idle and probes for tube current.
The fans are rather unique, they are pulled from an A140 projector and I arranged them on the old dryer vent adapter (without modifying the stock adapter at all, you can go back to a tube and squirrel cage fan anytime.) The fans run on 12V 2A and I will provide a wall-wart to run them.
This laser outputs a sum of 75mW+ between 7-8 lines depending on tube current. It fires first time every time. I run it once a month for 15 minutes+
Now, time to whore some awful cell phone pics!
This is at idle
Full power!
Idle...
Look at that awesome beam... Dot?
Full power!!
The individual lines, at full power.
That little dot, that's not glare. It's another line, a weak line but a line! (Who wants to guess the wavelengths?)
And just because I can
Scared the crap out of me, it's been forever since I popped a balloon!
Well, now the details...
I'm asking for $300 for this laser, shipping is largely unknown but I would guess around $75. The laser will be packaged in insta-pak expanding foam to give this thing the best possible chance of surviving! Plus I have a few from work I want to use The power supply will be shipped separate as it is rather heavy, I'm afraid that shipping them together will end with the power supply crushing the tube. If you do live somewhere near the Kansas City area I will deliver this thing if your less than 3 hours away.
I really hate to sell this thing but I never use it and I could use the money. Besides, I have a rotary converter and a rather large basement waiting for some real lasers
Thanks for looking!!
