companies that sell ruby lasers?

[ixfd64]

Does anyone know of any companies that sell ruby lasers?

I looked everywhere and couldn't find any companies that sell them. I've found many sources that sell ruby laser rods, but not completed lasers. It would be cool if a company sold lasers like this.

I think they've pretty much been obsolete for over a decade. You can get better/cheaper results with Nd:YAG. Perhaps see if you can get a surplus SSY-1

Companies probably don't sell them, but have you tryied ebay?I read somewhere (probably a comment on a video on youtube) that ruby lasers have better beam specs than Nd:YAG.
