I recently acquired a JDS Uniphase 2211-20SLE Argon laser from a used equipment reseller. (The seller was unable to test it, since they didn't have a power supply, so it was a bit of a gamble.) I want to know what power supply to look for for this laser, and what stats for a fan I need to look for. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Would a power supply such as the Uniphase 2114-25MLUP work for my laser head? Supplying the PSU with 240V is kind of a nuisance (I'd prefer a 120V PSU, but from the ones I can find so far, the 240V variety are cheaper by a substantial margin...), but if that's what I need to do, then I will do so. I will also add, This is my first argon laser (my first non diode laser too), so I would appreciate any setup tips and general help when I do get a power supply for it. Thanks.
2nd Edit: Finally found the correct allen wrench to remove the cover of the laser, and the hour counter reads somewhere around 9500. From what I know about argon lasers, that isn't good. The laser is from 1997, so I'm not surprised it has a lot of use on it. I suppose you just gamble with such things when you buy used from ebay. I will begin looking for someone who can refurbish my laser, but I'm in no hurry to do so. Any suggestions for where to get the laser serviced?
