^^^ All Argons need to be run once in a while to keep them healthy. Mine has less than a 100 hours on it and I still run it every couple of months.

WOW, what a beast. I haven't touched mine in over a year but it only has less than 100 hours on the clock. I know I should still run her once in a while so the electronics and tube stay healthy. Mines is just a little thing next to yours @ about 165mW at 10 amps but she makes 6 lines at only a...

Mine came from a guy that bought a pallet load of Argon lasers. I think this one was only tested and never made into service. It's sitting on its own shelf in my office so I have no reason not to fire it up anytime. It does 6 lines just off idle.

I can't remember the last time I fired mine up:thinking: The tube only has about 50-60 hours on it and puts out 166mW at full tilt.

Thanks for the link. I love your videos they are so cool.

Hey Swami, would a roof prism from a binocular work? Oh, do you have a link to your videos? It's been awhile since I've seen one of those bad boys.

Ooooops. I think its been longer for me. :crackup:

Gass lasers have been around since the early 60's when they were invented. Kids today. LOL

Send me a PM. IDK what's going on?

I sent you another one:D

Sent you a PM.

Where are you located?

Sorry Mike I should have been more clear. Mine starts every time on the first click. It's birthday is 7-31-03 and the tube only has 50 or so hours on it. I know it sat for a long time before I bought it but, she works great @ 160+Mw with 6 lines at full pop.

I need to run mine. The last time was 7-4-16. My JDS only has 50 or 60 hours on it.

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please I meant for cooling the optics for a dye laser. You are right way too many cooling hoses just for dye.
