Now that's what you call a gamble. 7k hours in 'as-is' untested condition.

Oh, didn't see the 'as-is.' Silly me. Probably dead.

maybe. depends on a lot of factors. most modern Argons are rated for 10K hours, and generally retubed at about that age. I've seen some die at a few thousand and plenty if run at spec and not turned up to max current all the time, last over 10K. really just depends on its run environment.

I know this is frustrating Sta, but almost every time this happens, it's a bot. Honestly though, there are good ways of avoiding bot attacks like this that must not be implemented.

Could always build a power supply for it! :D

But Razako is right, that one is a gamble seeing as it's "as-is" and untested. Those ALC60 heads are more fragile than the JDSU/Omni heads too, seeing as they aren't sealed tubes and as such have glass brewster stems.

I'll sell you my SP unit complete for $200 + shipping! :D Shipping is probably at least $100 though ...

Thank you for your offer. Is that a single line or a multi line unit?
