I also owned a RF excited SP 115 for a while too. Tube was EOL though so no lasing but it did glow nicely. Sold it to Sam Goldwasser but unfortunatly it didn't survive shipping to him even double boxed and wrapped in about 5" thick layer of bubblewrap. The tube design needed for RF drive just turned out to be too fragile to survive the UPS gorillas apparently. Last edited by qumefox; 07-24-2010 at 02:33 AM. | |

It's funny... if you have to ask "Is it a good idea to microwave..." then it probably isn't.  -Trevor
