    well I guessed 20 years old...it is actually 30 years old.

    the PT is 070-3 - argon.. to me it looks up to air - I'll bet it is dead.

    it may have been sent back in 2004 and a quote given to repair it and customer decided HELL NO and it was crated back up and sent back.

    if you shoot me pics of the pt i will nail it down 80% for you.

    but what ya got there is a laser with great potential...all you need is a PT

    I found it on ebay of all places.
    Yeah, Im begining to think the same that its up to air...
    Now this is funny! I found the guy who owned it, he is a professor at SCU. And I worte him, and found out a few things, one he bought it in 1980, ran it for 5 years, and in that time had it cleaned, and serviced by SP, then it was moved and stored, then in 04 for sent back for service,and thats all I have found out. Kinda cool in a way. Oh and he thinks he still has the manuals for both the head and PSU.

    Does anyone have a 164 head that will work with a 265 PSU or a tube?

    Cool

    Oh I know that. Anything that says argon is $$$$$
    I just figured, I have the PSU, why not find something for it to run

    Still got a bunch of 60X's lying around here. I love the little blighters.

    Would like to get my hands on a 1W Laser Physics argon though.
