14 Inches of HeNe goodness. Thanks to Ultimatekaiser, For selling me this laser and answering my questions. :beer: Ed

I got 2 of Larry's [Larry DFW here on LPF] 18650 Sanyo's and thought I should check them after 2 years of use in lasers and vape rigs. When I got them they had 40mohms of internal resistance I just checked them and they are both at 70mohms. All I can say is if you don't mind 11.95 per battery...

My first laser was a HeNe from Meredith back in the early 90s. I will always miss that laser,(stolen in a break in). Now I have a nice little HeNe. It's a Melles Griot P-50 and I have the bug again. This is how I got it. This is with the top removed. And one of it running. Puts out 1mw...

I'm putting this up here first for my LPF brothers. FS is a black cat g-10 radiation detector. I have used it less than an hour. It has a large GM tube and can be used for testing food and water. I'm looking for $100, but will consider a trade for diodes and drivers. Ed sold

FBI ? Fresno Laser Striker Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison Ed

About 3 weeks ago I found out I have prostate cancer, it was found by a PSA blood test. It has not spread and they are just going to remove my prostate and that should be it. There were no symptoms, it was just a routine test that found it. So call your Doc and get the test, it may save your...

Just got one of his B68 host kits and I have to say it is a great product. The fit and finish on the heatsink is outstanding and it comes with an installed contact board. I got it to use with one for DTRs' 12mm modules and it's going to work fine. These pics are his as my Cam is not with me...
