So I gave my Argon to a friend to watch for me over the summer (too big to ship it back home or take it on the plane) and my friend sadly lost the key and interlock to the laser so now I have no way of turning it on.. :yabbem: I know I should run it **best** once a month but now I can't!!

Anyone want to take it off my hands or know how I can fix it?

Thanks..

Can't you just soldered the pins on the key switch together?

I have A126 keysets out the wazoo. One time only, call it 5$ for the switch with standard A126 key and about 6.70 to make the post office happy.
