Ben, that is one awesome Argon laser! I tried to build an Argon ion laser from scratch 20 years ago. The glassblowing was too difficult in the end. Then I realized that good ones had a ceramic tube with the electromagnet to squeeze the plasma for high beam density. At that point I gave up. It would have cost me $30,000.00 at the time for a Spectra-Physics. I also like the Argon-Krypton multi-lines that can hit all the colors of the rainbow. Someone buy this beauty from Ben. It's a steal!
