Only thing that sucks is you cant use both tubes at once to get white, just the Ar or just the Kr :(

the price seems pretty good.

I've been wanting one of those ever since I first saw stuff about them over at Sam's FAQ - unfortunately 5 grand is out of my budget although it's actually a good price so long as it works

Someone on PL got something very similar, it was in VERY good condition too. I believe it has two Coherent I90 tubes, so finding a second PSU to run them both at once shouldn't be too hard. There are plenty out there that will do the job. Fair price to pay for what it is!

If you plan on powering this unit up you better have 3 phase power where you live :crackup:

yep a rotary 3 phase converter that you will need to get FAA / CASA approval for each start up ;)

It is way over priced, way too likely to be non-functional, and way too inefficient/annoying to make it worth the price. I would just find some I-90 systems for the same price.

Of course it would need to be examined and tested before anything could be said about its worth. Looks to be in decent shape though

Haha, love the marketing technique, because 10,000 mW looks so much more than 10W. :D


The ironic thing about all these monster tri-phase gas lasers, is that in the US they are widely available (damn near impossible to get in the EU) but basically no-one has tri-phase.

Whereas here in Europe everyone and their mother has tri-phase (we are fancy that way with our electric stoves :tinfoil:), but there s no beastly argons... :D


I mean crap I have a 3x75amp tri-phase just dying to get some action 10 ft. away.

You sure? I wasn't aware that residential European homes had 3 phase. If you can find some information on the topic I'd appreciate it.

US homes have 240v split phase - the pole transformer is center tapped, giving two 120v hot legs, or if you go from L1 to L2 instead of L1 or L2 to N you get the full 240v for large draw devices like stoves and water heaters.

I have 208v 3 phase available at my dorm since it's tied into the power grid for the college.

Yep, sure about it. :D Mine is 208VAC as well IIRC, metered it quite some time ago. My uncle has one, pretty much all the european coilers that I know, with whom I have spoken of tri-phase have it. Don't know about England though, they tend to do things differently than us mainlanders. ;) I believe it is mainly for the glass-ceramic cooktops (?strange word?) that we seem to love using, though imo are pointless and slow...pretty much more for "show".

Been meaning on getting myself at least a nice heavy duty HV transformer for it for a while, but will probably just run my next solid state coil from it, since a nice argon xW system is pretty much out of the question. :gun:

You forgot one thing: Anyone in the market for something like this is going to know they mean the same thing and it makes the seller look like a fruitcake.
