hey Kats -
ok, so I have a couple items that might be of some interest, here... I say, 'I guess...' cause I am not an expert on them, and hope, perhaps, that some of
the Experts and Professors that dwell, here, might be so-kind as-to 'fill in some of the blanks' / correct me where I might be off, so'z that perhaps, someone who actually might
want / need these, will
get the 'proper 411' on them..
First, we have a loverly Spectra Physics 2700 (
?? - I need to re-write the Model number-down tomorrow - will edit this post...) PSU, which, I believe
(and this is the 'I need the experts-part'... Steve? Pat?...) might be single-phase / three-phase-capable (?)... it has a sticker on the back, indicating last-service, it was operating properly, but since we have no-more small-frame SP's currently (only 171s) can't test it too-well... Price? Dunno, PM an offer... anyone with a 164 / 168 might be keen on this - and it's got the
coolest-little remote - very early-James Bondish...




..Ok, next-up, 4-pairs of what are labeled "HeNe Mirrors" in the optics drawer they came from, but I'd sure love to see the HeNe these would fit

...they're like ~ 9/16" in diameter, and ~1/4" thick! They're HUGE! - seem to be a fascinating combo of glass-machining and glass-assembly, with what I believe the be the HR, having a silver (?) end-cap of some sort.. really interesting mirrors, something I've never seen.. Collectors out there? Robert Hess? Professor? Steve - you have any answers?... again, make an offer, if interested...

Lastly.. the tiniest HeNe tube,
I've ever seen, anyway - it's the cutest little thing...

...and tests to-be gas-intact! Does not have any 'leads' soldered to it for anode/cathode - probably fit into some 'hot' housing / ring-assembly, etc, but it is just the coolest little tube... That is a 'standard' hose-washer in the pic, for 'size-ref'
'Free'
(well, for the cost of shipping it to you!...) to a good home... I just wanna see someone, with the time to 'play' with this, get it to light! I think
I'd almost pay to see that!

Anyhoo, that's it for now... we do also have a fully-working / excellent tube-health Coherent Purelight Star II WL FS, but I figure, with what we 'fairly' want to to ask for it, ($4-5K-range...) PL is probably not the 'place' to put it up -

PM, if interested....and yes, 'Got Pix'...
might be into a 'trade' for an 'equivalent-value' RGB-rig...
Anyhoo, mostly, wanna see that little HeNe get lit...

peace..
