I have no other head to test the PSU, the uniphase is clearly incompatible.
How do you see if the cathode is heated up? I have never realigned a gas laser before
If you can find another LPF member that has a 60X near to you, you can test by meeting up. I imagine you're eager to see the laser work. but it may take some patience testing and identifying where the problem may be.
Troubleshooting something that is new to us is often a real challenge. I think MM said even if it isn't aligned, it will still fire up and glow plasma. Use of the Oudin coil may mean the cathode ignighter is a non-issue, right now.
It may be time to take a peek inside the PSU and post some pics and try and see why the key isn't functioning. I wonder how much it's been monkeyed with inside.
Have you researched this PSU in Sam's Repair FAQ to see if there is some jumpering needed to make it work? If the previous owner could have gotten this to work, he would have, because he can get more money for it. So be prepared for the problem to be not easy to find. But you'll sure become an expert in the process. :yh:
