Hey ,
Another argon to show , this time its a LGK 7812 ML4 and the unique thing about this argon laser is that the end bell with the cathode is made from glass which I love about this tube .
You can see the bore entrance too .
Unit was made in 2007 but I have no idea on hours and im not fully sure of its rated power , I hear its around 25mW , no idea at what current its meant at .
With the unit set on idle and a voltage measured of 0.35V on the remote interface ( I assume its ( 3.5A ) the tube output didn't register on my X4 LMP .
Turing the laser to run mode and setting current to what I assume is 5A ( 0.5V ) I get 8 lines at 10mW and turning the current pot to full I get a current of 6.5A and a output of 24 - 25 mW 8 lines .
Cathode and bore ,

Light sensor and under it is the ignitor .
