Laser gear for sale
 
As I am pretty sure you all know we are a specialty salvage company for the
property and casualty insurance industry.
 
This morning We were been assigned a "water" loss surrounding a lab
inclusive of laser equipment.
 
The following is an inventory which we have of the materials included in the
claim....
 
I am looking for dealer in the secondary (gray) market for this type of
equipment and am hoping one or more of the members may have a notion where I
can find someone who serves members of this list favorably.
 
Or perhaps someone here may have the wherewithal to bid on the lot as a
whole as we cannot part and parcel off the list..

Commercial interest!
 
David,
 
Cobolt manufacture 25, 50 and 100mW 491nm lasers.  All are in the same
package and all have an RS232 interface on the controller that can be used
to set the power.
 
You can download specifications and manuals at www.cobolt.se
 
Regards
 
Steve Knight

Steve,
 
Does Cobolt's 491nm laser offer user-adjustable power
or is it 100mW on/off?
