    Default Tunable HeNe laser

    Asking the impossible, but hey...

    Does anyone have one of these they want to offload.

    Must be a *very* reasonable price 😂

    define 'reasonable' lol. They're out there... but most of them are at least a couple grand working. What do you want one for?

    Impossible to define reasonable, I guess the nearest answer would be as reasonable a price as possible for a laser in as good condition as possible .

    For me, as a pure hobbyist, I would only be buying it as something to look at and drool over and add to a steadily growing collection of other HeNe's of various hues.

    Other than that I have no use for it in a scientific way and would not be making money from it. It would perhaps make an appearance at the UK Laser meets generally held on a bi-annual basis. During the course of which others may think it's a cool bit of kit before going back to their all singing and dancing super-powered lasers running the latest software. In the meantime i'd be sat in a corner somewhere playing with lumia and abstracts in a mad scientist sort of way

    The PMS laser is nice and outputs over spec powers. Phil

    yeah, I've considered buying one from you guys, but way too expensive. especially when I already have all four in dedicated tubes, so kinda no point. I bought my 577 Taipan for less than that. I have one with a dead tube though. I just use the prism on other lasers to get the same effect.
