Dear forum
Edit: I made a mistake with the title - they are in Melbourne!
A fellow aussie (who is not a member here) has asked me kindly to put a post here regarding some argon lasers. The lasers are LaserPhysics Reliant 50S-488 single line blue argon lasers. He has two of them (I got the third!). They are low hours (almost brand new). This is their story:
A friend of his is a physicist and had 5 lasers in storage, as backup lasers for the ones in use in the lab. The lab sold the lasers when they moved to solid state lasers. As such, my friend snapped them up for $400 each. Rob has asked that I put a post on here, advising that he is selling the lasers for the price he got them for (he got what he wanted, two low hour argons). Since he had to buy the lot, he is passing them on at what he paid for them. He would much rather have us laser enthusiasts get them, than someone who has no idea what they are playing with.
A laser will cost around $35 to courier along eastern seaboard, more than this for tasmania, WA or NT. Not sure for SA.
The lasers are fully self contained, and plug right into a 240v outlet. They come with key, interlock plug and are located in Melbourne.
They are rated at 50mw, but I have been told they do quite a bit more as they are practically new.
They are adjustable, permenantly externally wired into light mode, but if you pop the top, the connections to the interlock plug can be read off the PCB, and you should be able to wire up a suitable remote to switch between current and light modes, along with a remote pot and current monitoring.
If you would like to contact Rob, please PM me and I will pass on his email address. I will not post it here to avoid webspiders harvesting his address.
To sum up, LaserPhysics Reliant 50S-488 lasers are in melbourne for $400 a pop. There are two remaining lasers. Once Rob tells me they are sold I will update this post. Unless I am in a very noisy environment or asleep, I will be able to answer any PM's as they come in; as I have put the email I used for the forum into my iphone.
Once both the lasers go, I will update this thread.
edit: One laser possibly sold (interested party has had email passed on), One laser remains available.
