I've got an old philco of similar vintage, and it also has the ability to pick up various different kinds of radio frequencies. Check the power cord for cracks and exposed wires, see if it has a place to hook up an antenna (I just used a piece of wire) (if not it might have one integrated...

Yet they don't care that you can buy 50,000,000+ candle power arc lamps for cheap off ebay...?

okay good ;D

I really hope your joking.. Since a high quality 75 watt incandescent bulb will put out around 700-900 lumens...

I've got a very similar motor on a 1/2HP pump, A.O. Smith motor? Usually motor capacitors do not fail like that :-/

I ordered two DX30s about two months ago, and they came in last month. One I ordered for one of my friends (he paid). My DX30, will pop marked balloons without a lense easily, and cut through thin black plastic sheet, black trash bags, and poke pin holes through electrical tape. I accidentally...

I got a reply from DX, they said that they changed the shipping because of the risks shipping lasers with EMS. They will be doing a refund for the shipping :). They should be in this week :)

I had a New-Wish 5mw (same 5mw DX sells), but I decided to upgrade to the 30mw one. A friend also asked me to get him one, so I ordered two, and opted for EMS Express shipping, since my friend paid me in advance, I'd figured he want his ASAP. They shipped on the 4th, and I just go the tracking...

Can I see your setup there? I have a MOT putting out around ~10 volts, and I'm only topping at around 5-6 amps tops.

well it really wasn't working well, so I just pulled the tip out, and cleaned the lense more easily :-/

I got a DX 5mw, I've had it maybe two weeks, and I lately I've noticed that around the dot, there is a fairly large(around 4-5 inches in diameter, with the laser about a foot from a wall) circle of green speckles. I'm guessing its dust, as I have no noticed it before. Is there any possible way...
