That's a nice argon ya got there! Lets see some pictures of the cathode end while it's running though ?

[djmatt]

I dont have a power meter, but it says on the back 57mw.

As far as pics. with its on.
1. I tryed it,but I found theres a interlock on but I can get past that.
2. Its the heat, this thing gets hot quick!!!! And with no fan on the tube...!
But ill see what I can do.

You can generally run them at low powers for a few seconds without a fan

As for the interlock, I don't have a clue about that !

DO NOT RUN IT WITHOUT A FAN!!! It will burn up. I thought it had a fan... It was doing 33 to 37mW at SELEM II. I have pictures somewhere.

I'll help out with the pictures of it running... I have one just like it

[djmatt]

Well I did it!! I got 2 pics while it was coming up and while it was lasing!!

enjoy!
only ran it for 15 secs.

(note I would make sure to cover your eyes when viewing a bare tube because I may explode)
