Where did you find 60?... There's a $60 packing fee, but I can't F3 it anywhere else.

Some of you know this and some of you don't. So let me be the first to dispel this 50W rating. These output around 20W in good condition and judging from the hour meter, this tube will be lucky if it lases at all. It might give 10W if you're lucky.

If you have a CO2, Argon, etc. gas filled laser tube, you know the tubes eventually need replacing or refilling (especially the cheap Chinese tubes).

If you send them back to the manufacturer or local laser shop, they'll usually charge you a few hundred dollars to re-fill them, but if you can find a sign shop that still works with neon, they'll re-fill them for around $20 bucks.

-My father in law has a sign shop in North Hollywood and they do custom neon. He re-charges laser tubes for people with CNC cutters all the time.

very unlikely, but for the price if you live local - the PSU alone is worth the $200 :)

opps, typo, but for this price 10-40 W is good, heck the PSU is worth it.
