New Old Stock. Complete kit in original vintage packaging.

Item Overview:

Available is a rare, complete "New Old Stock" (NOS) 1mW HeNe (Helium Neon) Laser Component Kit. This kit was produced by Creative Computer Concepts, Inc. / MECA and includes everything needed to build a functional 1mW gas laser system.

Included in this Kit:

• 1mW HE-NE Laser Tube: Brand new, never used, in original protective wrap. Features excellent Gaussian beam profile characteristics (TEM00). Based on the visual features and the barcode label, this is a Melles Griot Helium-Neon (HeNe) laser tube, likely a "hard-seal" model. The label showing 7242 EE is a specific identification used by Melles Griot.

• 12VDC Input Circuit Board: Original etched PCB for the power supply.

• Complete Electronic Parts Kit: Bagged components including the high-voltage transformer, capacitors, and resistors required for the 10KV trigger and 1.1KV - 1.8KV operating voltage.

• Full Documentation: Includes the original "Laser Workbook," assembly instructions, and detailed power supply schematics.

Technical Specifications:

• Output Power: Under 1mW (Class II/IIIa)

• Input Voltage: 12VDC (Ideal for portable or battery-powered projects)

• Wavelength: 632.8nm (Standard Bright Red)

• Manufacturer: Creative Computer Concepts, Inc. (Largo, FL) / MECA (St. Louis, MO)

Why This is a Great Buy:

Unlike modern diode lasers, HeNe gas lasers provide a superior, high-quality beam preferred for holography, interferometry, and physics demonstrations. Finding a vintage kit like this—complete, unused, and with original "New Old Stock" documentation—is extremely rare for collectors and laser enthusiasts alike.

Shipping & Handling:

Item will be double-boxed and shipped with extreme care to ensure the fragile glass laser tube arrives safely.
