Lines: 15 I need to find some contacts that might be able to help me locate surplus laser tubes (argon preferred), and galvonometers. The information i have received so far has only price listings for the latest newest tubes available, and such, are VERY expensive. Same goes for the galvonometers. I have heard that there is quite a range of surplus/second hand gear around in the USA, and small clubs - even some diners have set up a small laser show as an added effect. Here in NZ, not many (if any!) decent tubes etc ever find there way to being resold. Is there a better newsgroup I should be posting in? Anyway, any info/addresses etc would be most appreciated, and if there is anyone else out there who has experemented around with laser scanning/drawing pictures etc, I would be pleased to hear from you. Thank-you, Tony.
