Epilog Radius Questions

[Martin Boekers]

I picked up a 25 watt Epilog Radius today. It was running a few months ago, but was replaced
with a newer model. It seems to be well taken care of. Everything moves smoothly. I won't get a
chance to download a driver and see if it fires for a week or so. I decided to research it a bit before
firing it up. One mirror definitley needs replacing and maybe the lens. We'll see tomorrow when I try
to clean them. Are the front surface mirrors specially coated for a laser, if so what would I ask for
at a scientific sales shop? I haven't called Epilog yet to check availability on parts for this, that will
be tomorrow.

Is anyone running a Radius? (this was built in 1999) anything I should watch for? This laser was the right
price and will be set up at home, so it won't be a full production one. Any aftermarket parts available
(for those that still work with one of these?)

If the tube is bad which is cheaper a refurb/refilled or a replacement tube?

This seems to be a well built machine so I could put a few bucks into it if needed within limitations.

Thanks!
