This metrologic 5mw HeNe worth anything?

[robr]

Assuming it works (it did last time I used it 10 years ago but can't test until I find the fuse cap and a fuse).

Photo I grabbed off the net. mine doesnt have all the sticky gunk.

Here's a lower powered one on eBay (priced way too high) that provides more general info

I just went to check and unfortunately the sticker with it is MIA. And I realized I have no idea what the power output is (and i don't own a LPM). I realized it's just a warning label that says maximum power output is 5mw, but it's just a generic label.

Hmm, if I find it works maybe I'll just throw it up for a trade. It's not worth anything to me. Guess without knowing the model # and power output, we have nothing to go by!! .

Whats the head length in millimeters?
I can probably look it up.
I still own a metrologic catalog.

hey thanks steve!

The length of the case is 337mm. The overall length of the head including the metal ring on the front with the safety is 352mm.

Found this .... it could very well be my measurements were off (I didn't have a tape measure with mm and just converted inches to mm). So it's probably the ML868 or 869.
