Those transformers do have their uses once you hack off the dangerous 2kv secondary :) I saw one on the street the other day and meant to go get the transformer. Its probably been picked up by now by the council.

Is that a rewound microwave oven transformer I see running the filament? :)

I think the problem with pilots and lasers is that people often target aircraft during the most critical phase of flight - takeoff and landing. Its during this time that a lot of things are happening up front, so even if the pilots are not flash blinded by the laser, they're sure going to be...

Re: FS: Custom Laser Warning Labels UPDATE No worries mate - I'll be ready when you are. I won't be putting the sticker on my laser until after my trip away - having a laser that you can disassemble with a twist is handy for plane flight - throw on an atomiser and its just an electronic...

Re: FS: Custom Laser Warning Labels UPDATE How much do I owe you mate - I'm in australia so factor in international postage :)

Pretty piss poor if you ask me - if you bid and won X and they only give you Y, thats bait and switch. I'm looking down the barrel of one of these scams now, not due to a seller, but due to Ebay's PBI repacking a parcel. Seller says the ILT is 25" long, yet Fedex says package is 22" long. So it...

Just attach a pistol grip to it. :)

Re: FS: Custom Laser Warning Labels UPDATE Hey Rivem - put me down for one unit. I really should label my pointer :) 520nm <2W Class IV Laser Product Green Beam line Cheers Ben

ILT's default to the head pot if there is no remote. But without the cable, you're kinda outta luck. I've made a post in the gas laser forum detailing the remote pinouts, but don't use it until I confirm once I get my ILT 5500ASL back :) edit: This cable might work...

While doing some research on this and the other forum I have deduced a lot of information on the ILT 5405A power supply. This is for my reference, but may help others: I NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK THIS FIRST. Waiting on a supply from up north or from ebay. I will also be getting my RPC-50 back down...

I know this thread is old but I thought I'd chime in as I'm all ILT'ed out having done tonnes of research on these things. That for sure has a littrow prism in the back, and is a 10mW 488-514 laser and is powered by the 5400A power supply. To change the wavelength you adjust the vertical mirror...

of course - you can always pretty it up after getting it working, and as a bonus, use the cardboard controller as a template for drilling holes in a plastic enclosure should you decide to upgrade. Did make me smile! A dremel comes in handy for those rotten 25 pin printer port plugs :)

ok is that fancy enclosure what I think it is? A cardboard laser controller? :)

My previous ILT (now living up north) sat under my workbench. Out of the way, but close enough to a kitchen outlet to allow me to do a monthly burn. If I wanted to bring it out for display, the coffee table was the place of choice (seen in the film where I unbox the omni). There it has all the...

hahaha so did my other argon (the laserphysics). Almost felt as though after the first run, each time I spooled it up, I'd first have to call ground on 124.25 to get permission to start. They do indeed sound like a jet winding up :) Also those grills are on them for a reason - you'd know about...

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please Alaskan, you're kinda like me - like lasers but have no real use for them (except mabye home laser shows). Be careful if you get one of those - that amount of green and IR is not forgiving, especially with the...

Well mail man just delivered a set of imperial drivers so now taking apart the omni should be rather simple. About time I bought a set too - this being the second time I've needed a set of imperial drivers and had to make do with a metric set or borrow them from a friend. The ILT is paid for...

Just ordered some imperial hex drivers so I don't have to sit around in final cut chopping out video while I try in vain to use metric tools on imperial fasteners :) I watched a teardown of a novus 2.5w surgical - he couldn't get the laser in it to run so he ripped into the tube (but was...

yeah playing with optics is quite a treat, especially with gas lasers. Just scored a supply for the ILT - if the ILT from ebay ends up dead, at least I'll have a spare to go with my other ILT :) Trying to motivate myself to strip down the omni - I finding it difficult to tear down such a mint...

oh well I have plenty of other optics to play with - a diffraction grating (also known as a CD :P), some dichros and a polygon scanner out of a laser printer. Oh and a set of DT40 W's :)
