Doesn't the 2213 require 220V mains?
What is the output on it?
Pictures always help as well.
Peace,

Well... Looks like I'm looking again..
Got the laser in today - thanks Elektro! But unfortunately, the tube was knocked out of alignment in shipping... I managed to get it to lase by using the procedures in Sam's FAQ for aliging HENE tubes... but during the tweaking, I believe I broke the seal - Loud squealing sound and now it wont start up, just fires the igniters (Click click click click....)..
So - I have a really sweet setup, minus a head.
If anyone has a multiline head they want to sell, relatively inexpensively, I would appreciate it! I blew my budget getting the laser and the digital control unit, so I'm hurting at the moment for cash - but can probably scrape together $100 in about a week.

Bugger - I feel your pain too - so close yet so far - and I just sold my singleline argon!

I feel terrible about what happened.. I had really hoped that your experience with that laser would be FAR different from what ended up happening.

Head is a 2214-40ML that went..
I have the PSU that will drive everything except the 2213 heads, set up for 110V operation.
Pm'd as well..
No worries bro... Its obvious that USPS must have dropped it several times or something... The alignment was out by about 1/16 of an inch.
What kills me is I was SO close to having it tuned... it was to the point that the weight of my nut-driver hanging off the end of the tube was enough to bring it into alignment.... ohh well. Lesson learned.
I'm a little more sane today... still just as broke, but sane..

Wait ... was the whole tube out of alignment or just the mirrors?

I would be interested in pics and total price shipped in US
(if you still want to sell it). I bought a bare tube and was looking to maybe buy a power supply, but a whole unit for a good price is tempting.
