I gave away a Uniphase argon head with a spectraphysics power supply just 
a few months ago. I think it was a 488nm single line ordeal.

You should be able to get argons for nothing. People love them some 
diodes.

There is a casio video projector that has 24 blue laser diodes (the 445nm 
ones like Wicked is selling.) That's where teh cheap hih powered blues 
come from. It's really too purple.
