Please cut and paste the following:
Lloyd Cross is passing:
Cecil, Lloyd's wife, has called me . She tells me that Lloyd is passing and may not make the night. Cecil is understandably having
a hard time of it. As near as I can tell Lloyd has refused Chemo, and properly so, I think. He has 3rd or 4th stage cancer of the bladder
and 4 cancers in his lungs. Both Lloyd and I think that chemo would be both useless and very debilitating. My understanding is he is
refusing water. He does have the palliative of ice chips to freshen his mouth and throat. As you know, this is an accepted way of managing
ones departing
___________.
I have this last year I completely refurbished, including the power supply, and a new laser tube, Lloyd's Spectra-Physics Model 124 HeNe Laser.
This laser operates at 633 nm. It is producing 25 mW. I repaired the laser, gratis, for Lloyd so he could move ahead with his holographic efforts.
As it is my manner I did a first rate repair on this laser. Lloyd was diagnosed with cancer about the time I returned the laser to him. Therefore, it has
little if any time on it since I have returned it to him.
I think it no release of a closely held family secret to say that Lloyd and Cecil are drained of cash because of Lloyd's medical problems. For any
who have a need for a high power HeNe laser for holography or other purpose, I confidently recommend you will be satisfied with the purchase
of this laser. I will personally warrant the laser, FOB Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, to perform as new from Spectra-Physics for one year from the
date of shipment to you. The laser is at Point Huneme in California. As I am not there to pack it I have asked Cecil to deliver it to a UPS Store to
have it Professionally packaged for shipment within the USA or internationally. The costs of packaging, insurance and transport will be prepaid
and added to the price of the laser. Your check should be made payable directly to Cecil Cross at the address I will provide.
I have recommended to Cecil that she price the laser at $2,000. The price, new, of a 22.5 mW laser listed in Edmund Optics is ~$3,650. You can
save ~$1,600 and have, in my opinion, a better laser. .
If you have questions I will pleased to answer you at; eldonlaser(at)aol(dot)com
Thank you,
