We're having a problem with the Coherent 305 water cooled laser on our Elite which has gotten progressively worse over the last several uses. First ly , the laser emits a distinctive odor when its running [argon?]. It also occasionaly shuts off. We just noticed that the plug [where the power supply plugs into the wall outlet] was burned [looked black]. We then shut down the power at the main and called service. Via phone, the service technicican suggested it is the plug or outlet and is sending me a new one. My impression is that something is wrong internally with the laser. Can anyone offer some ideas as to what might be wrong? Thanks for any advice, Tom -- ***************************************************************************** Thomas W. Mc Closkey, Ph. D.
