Lasers. Does anyone else in here have old Lasers lying around?

I realized that I had a box of old Helium Neon Lasers lying around in the boomtown storage vaults, and me and Ryan Rummel from TSI spent a good two days fooling around with the things.

Apparently they roughly respond to neon ballasts, which was an interesting thing, and man oh man did we think we were going to get blown up in the process.

I have a random selection of antique lasers, all of them in the invisible and redlight spectrum, does anyone else fiddle around with these high voltage deathtoys?
