Send RF CO2 tube overseas?

[Hemlock_Mike]

Can an old, dead, RF excited 12 Watt CO2 laser tube be
sent overseas? Seems this is old technology
but I'm not ready to find out if there's problems.

Just buy a new one..worth the money. no headaches. I have old regular ci2 tube if you think you can recharge it in your own lab. It doesnt lase. has sliw leak somewhere

For sales purposes or refillling Mike?

Industrial laser sources have no customs restrictions in the UK, a lot of the higher price hobby lasers still use RF excited sources and 12 watts would be quite a good starter for engraving or very light cutting (possibly 1mm plywood etc)

Where are you hoping to send it to?

best wishes
