I posted this on PL as well, but felt like it should be put here too. Any help would be much appreciated.
So i have everything wired up correctly, but when I power up the laser, the only thing happening is that the plasma tube glows, followed by a weak purple light coming off the aperture. I tried to adjust the power with a pot as well, no difference. I was told that the laser is misaligned. I paid oveer $550 for the whole setup, so I would really do whatever I can to get this laser working. It's my first gas laser and was like my dream to see the colours, especially of a multiline tube. I hope you guys can help. Thanks in advance.
