A Little Working HeNe Set

Gas lasers like this one run without worry about duty/rest cycle- no batteries to ever replace- great beam quality. Nicer color too IMO.- everyone should have a gas laser or two.

Was that for real? A HeNe laser w/ power supply for $29?? Huh? I've never seen any HeNe going for that cheap. Unless it was for a 0.000025mW or something. The ebay item isn't coming up anymore.

I wasn't questioning your honor, Sir. I'm just surprised at the price. It's ads like that (w/ low prices) that make me think it's a scam or something. I mean, a HeNe laser ready to go for $29?? It's almost unbelieveable.

HeNes are cheap if you're patient (for small tubes anyway) they regularly go for $20, even complete ones. Sure you can easily spend a lot on one, but they can be had for much less if you keep an eye out

I got a small uniphase a while ago which cost me about $30 total for the tube and psu but have since sold it
