So I have an opportunity to buy a Spectra Physics HeNe 632nm model 142P laser, with a manufacturing date of 1977. It lights up and is in decent condition, though not perfect. According to SAM's FAQ it should have a rating of about 1mW, though on the laser itself it states it is 4mW. Does anyone know what this thing is worth? The price is $100 right now, but will drop over time (like a month). It'd be kind of neat to own an HeNe, but if I could obtain that novelty for cheaper, or have a more recently manufactured one, I might just wait until the price drops.
