I think my laser tube just gave up the ghost. Its a 30w Universal VersaLaser. Has anyone replaced one of these recently? I plan on replacing the optics at the samee time but they're relatively inexpensive.
Thanx,
Jim

I just replaced the tube from my Versalaser almost a month ago, mine is 25W I paid 1050.00 plus shipping, I don't know if there is a big difference from 25W to 30w, probably not.

I just looked into replacement of a 60 watt a couple months ago. It was about $15,000 if I remember correctly but to trade one it is about $1,200. They send you a new one, once you have it running in your laser you send them your old one. (you end up swapping the entire laser cartdrage rather than just the tube. You open up the back of the machine lift the old cartdrage out and put in the new one. No allingment needed it can literally be swapped out in a minute or two.

You are correct, that is how I did it, I just swapped it.
