About a year and a half ago, I came home from work and found my hene laser was not in its usual place on the window sill. I asked my wife what she did with it, and she said she put it in the drawer of our hutch. I immediatly went and got it and plugged it in to find that it no longer lased, and I could hear something rattling inside of it. "What did you do you stupid beotch?" I thaught.
It was a steal off of Ebay for $25 plus shipping, and it was only 6 months old when I got it. Melles Griot with a beam expander. $25 for the laser and psu brick, $30 for shipping and $40 for customs brokerage fees to Canada. Cheap for a hene, but not free either.
Anyway, it has been sitting and bothering me for about two years, and I would like to get a new tube for it.
I don't really know where the ballast resister is in the thing because it's probably buried in silicone inside the aluminum tube.
However the psu brick is perfectly fine, rated at 1.1-1.5KV@4.5mA. 12Vdc in.
I WOULD LIKE TO GET ANOTHER LASER TUBE TO PUT ON IT.
If anyone has a tube and possibly the ballast resister too, that would work with this PSU brick, I may want to buy it from you if the price is right.
I hate looking at this thing sitting in my basement. Every time I look at it, I get a little bit angry at my wife for "putting it away". She has been quite supportive of my laser obsession/hobby over the years, with the PHRs, 445s, Greenies, and HeNes, etc. One lousy broken laser shouldn't get in the way of our relationship, especially if I can simply get another tube for it.
Hook a brother up!
Thanks,
Steve
P.S. This is a thread I started not long after I got it. The picture shows what it looks like.
