Was it this exact listing and diode? Not that I'll care, only 20$ the guy selling them is into making labbys and said he has tested them and they work fine.

yep! I ended up just giving the laser to a buddy. the dot just had too much wash out. so itll be pretty hit or miss
 
Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please

that's what I figured. Figured I'd give it a try though.. But this proves my point about not buying from other people outside of here! at least when you buy from dtr or any other you no what your getting without a shred of doubt! Plus its supporting a fellow member. I just wanted to try it out for once

I've read that the diodes coming from used projectors tend to have accumulated stuff on the windows, even when the diodes haven't been used very long. I guess you could always "de-can" the diode to get clean output again, but for the hassle it's probably more convenient to just get an unused diode.

I'm not too worried about it, was only a few bucks. This is honestly the first time I've boughten a diode outside of LPF. Like I've said before, when you buy from here, you know what your getting and supporting fellow forum members

I just now went to my mailbox literally 10 minutes ago and here's the one I bought, it's like new.
It never ceases to amaze me how much dust there is in household air, it takes seconds for tiny particles of dust to start depositing on anything.

Go down to Radio Shack and pick up one of
the red solder sucker bulbs and use it only
for blowing dust off optics, if they still sell
them.

Yes those work well, I use a big turkey baster I bought at wally world, you can heat up the plastic at the tip and reshape it to get a nice stream of air.

Great deal on a spectrometer. I would buy it, but meh- don't really have a need for it.
