I was scrolling through a Chinese ebay-like auction site when I stumbled across a listing for an argon laser. The seller claims he doesn't know what it is, and is selling it as is for approximately $40. The laser looks to be missing the PSU, but have absolutely no experience with gas lasers I can't really glean anything else from the pictures. I do know that argon lasers are usually expensive, so if this would be a good deal then I am willing to risk the $40.
Additionally, do you guys know any simple tests the seller could do to point towards a working or not working tube? I heard one way is to gently shake it and listen if anything is rattling inside. If I do decided to purchase it, besides saying "package it well" are there any other specific instructions I should give to ensure it arrives undamaged?
One other thing, I have found what appears to be the operation manual for this laser, in case that helps any: http://www.nationallaser.com/images/Manuals/C61 Manual.pdf
Thanks in advance for any help, owning a gas laser is something I have been looking forward to for a long time!
