[comp.misc] LASER / CONTROL INFO

proteus@sideways.gen.nz (Proteus) (06/18/91)

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.
