These are neat little ASICs, I had a couple myself but I gave up after the realization I'd never make any money doing this casually. The difficulty has been pushed way up due to 1TH+ ASIC availability. Still if somebody is interested in learning and experimenting, these are a great way to...

You care to post a bit more info than that? Wavelength? Power output? Pics? Prices? This post kind of looks like a scam. Where are you in the north east?

Looks like prices have nearly doubled since this review :(

Re: Fretwrecker94's "Summer Hobby Fundraiser" sale Rats. I'm literally 25 minutes from the ME border and have been watching BST for a 100-200mw 532nm that I wanted by next weekend, was excited until I saw they were all around 5mw :P.

thanks, been watching BST every day :). there's one up there but it's in norway and to get it here in time is quite a premium as it should be. cheap = olike or lazerer type of pricing. was hoping someone actually in the US stocked these things from china rather than drop shipped from china...

perhaps time to remove the sticky on this thread?

I'm looking for a cheap 100-200mw 532nm and need it in a week. Any US based place that stock these I can order from so I'm not waiting weeks for a shipment from China? Thanks.

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. Sam's Laser FAQ - Commercial Unstabilized HeNe Lasers Metrologic Education Lasers Here is info from the Metrologic...

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.

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...

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 NEW Metrologic...

I started looking into doing laser shows perhaps 20 years ago. I acquired a HeCd 442nm laser that had a giant power supply, it was two piece industrial unit, a meterologic HeNe (still have that in the basement) and an Argon. I also picked up some cambridge technologies closed loop galvos and a...
