I'm sure I'm late to the party, but in case you don't know what I'm talking about, it's this one, with the modified game console controller: I can't really tell, but it looks something like a pulsed laser like in a laser cutter, and it takes a not insignificant time to melt/burn/vaporize its...

Hello, I have a few air-cooled argon lasers I play with, but I need to jump some pins for them to lose. I was thinking of building a remote interface by reverse engineering the pinouts, and I’ve got a shopping cart full of wire, TE AMP CPC connectors, MultiMate sockets, BUT,, I have no idea...

I recently picked up a NEC/Showa GLS 3135 PSU and matching GLG 3135 argon head. It's an OEM only 488/515 setup from the Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope. Everything was working fine, but the interlock key was snapped off in the lock. I just used whatever was around to twist the cylinder on...

Hey everyone, I haven't been on here in like forever, but I'm moving in a couple months, so I decided to put some lasers I have up for sale/free since they deserve to be loved instead of rotting, forgotten, in various nooks and crannies of my house. I'll most likely putting some gas tube/ps...

Hi, It's been a long time since I've played with lasers, or been on the forum, but I just got an argon laser for about $100, and wanted to see the 488nm photons I'd given up on seeing a long time ago. It's a Showa Optronics GLG 3075, but I can't seem to find the specs on this, nor an adequate...

JDSU tube from a JDSU engineering dept. that downsized recently. I got it for $50, which is pretty good for a 543nm (I think), and in great cosmetic condition too! Got a matching PSU for $40, and wired it with plug and switch :D Model label - the JDSU logo portion has been removed for some...

I won this off of ebay a while back It's a HeNe pointer from Laserex, (Aussie company I think?) and I believe this was one of the few laser pointers commercially available. I normally wouldn't do an unboxing of an used laser, but this vintage piece had original packaging w/ instructions and...

I turned my laser on, and this happened: Is it mode hopping? I'm pretty sure it's not normal... EDIT: Okay, I put it on YouTube, but it screwed up the file for some reason :confused: I hope you get the idea though, the yellow dot and semi-halo is the laser.

What kind of tool do I need to drill mounting holes in an aluminum baseplate? Would I need a full-blown drill press? I was thinking about using a hand drill, but wouldn't it be hard to keep it aligned through 1/2 of aluminum? What do you guys use?

How do you choose a power supply when you buy just a gas laser head? Normally, I would guess you would look at the specs and find a PSU with the matching specs, but what if the seller doesn't have any info on it? And googling the model # doesn't help much? Is there any way to "measure" the...

Hi all, So I was just playing around with my greenie just now, and I thought the beam looked significantly brighter than usual. And then I noticed it was also raining. Could humidity have an effect on beam visibility? I suppose it would help with the Rayleigh scattering?

Hi. I'm not really into gas lasers, but I was shopping around on eBay and saw this. The seller was only 30 zip codes away, so I ended up doing local pickup and getting it for just over 30 bucks. It has a 3121H-P-02-73(no idea) Melles Griot HeNe head made in 1999 And a small power supply from...

I was looking for some nice pen hosts... Not the cheap ones like the "Newish" hosts but something like the CNI pen hosts or the WL Core/E3 (They are nice hosts, admit it :D) Obviously, I would prefer it to be in good condition. If anyone has any to sell, let me know.

I know everyone on this forum says that 1W Kryptons are virtually nonexistent and WL is kidding themselves, but I decided to waste $1000 and get a 1W Krypton. Beautiful host Solid beam Everything in the package And here's the jawdropping LPM Screenshot!! OVERSPEC PEAKING AT 1954mW...

I got this laser from WL and I don't really know which one it is. I know it says "Executive Series" below Wicked Lasers, but AFAIK, the executive series used to have the word "Fusion" written there. EDIT: The power is about 50mw and it is IR filtered, if that helps.

I was looking for a new charger for my 10440 batteries, and found this: TrustFire TR-001 Multi-Purpose Lithium Battery Charger - Free Shipping - DealExtreme. It says the charging current is 500mA, and it also says it will charge 10440 batts. I thought I should only charge 10440 batts at a...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but could someone tell me how much this is worth without the remote if it does work?

Did anyone know that the term LASER was an acronym for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation"?! Or am I the only one who didn't know this:confused:

I am willing to buy a laser that 1. LPM's at an average of 200mw 2. Has a key lock 3. And runs off of a 18650 battery for $40. I will pay shipping/handling fees. Any wavelength is fine, but I assume for $40, red will be the only color offered. US sellers only please. EDIT: Also a clicky...

Why are these links at the top of the page?? They point to toplaserpointers.com which is blank and pretty useless. Does it seem blank just to me? Also, is this the right forum to post bugs in??
