Sold

BOTH LASERS ARE SOLD


Okay everybody, times are tough and rough. Especially finances. I just got a few things "laid on me", including a $900 insurance payment.

So, although I don't want to do this, I have to.

Up for sale are two items.

The first, is a 5-10mW rated 473nm B&W TEK BWB-10-OEM lab laser, if you do some forums searching on this you will find alot of good info.
They are rated for 10mW max, but with some modifications members here have seen maxes of up to 30+mW.
The beam divergence is bad, about 5mrad, but that can be fixed with some ingenuity, and maybe the help of mcguyver, or one of the forum members.

This unit's head is made by CNI, so you know it's a good well made product.

I never tried to fix the beam divergence, and found out I have one of the newer style drivers, which instead of turning one potentiometer and the power going up, you have to turn several and figure it all out. So I tried the single pot once, saw it didn't affect the power output, and turned it back to original.

This one does anywhere from 5-10mW without any modification, and I have seen peaks of 13-15mW on my Nospin LPM.

You can get them for about $90 shipped in the US new off of ebay.
I have only used this one a handful of times, so therefore I would like to get $75 shipped for it. And shipping won't be very cheap, this unit is pretty large with the driver and everything.

Here is a thread regarding this laser

And another useful thread with lots of info on this unit and how to mod it to get what you want :beer:

The next one up for sale is my 280mW LPC-815 650nm red build from Flaminpyro. Jeff( Flaminpyro) built this one for me.

It has a copper heatsink( not needed for red, but could take a 1W+ 445 very nicely I do believe) and a cool host. The host has an extension tube on it, so you can use it with a single 14500 lithium ion, or two lithium AA batteries.

It has a microboost set to 400mA, and puts out 280mW with my qumefox ar coated red acrylic lens. This build was done 110% by Flaminpyro, so it is going to last you until you break it. I absolutely love this host, and everything about it. This is one of my favorite hosts to date, because it is small, compact, and is nice and heavy.

The parts alone, if you wanted to do this build by yourself would be as much as I am asking for it. Plus it was built by Flaminpyro, one of the most respected/ best builders on the forum! Let's do random guess work and say this:

$15 for host
$20 for copper heatsink
$25 for microboost driver
$5 for battery
$15 for LPC-815 diode
$5 Aixiz module and wire
$Cost to build or have built by another member

So I think $75 shipped is a very reasonable offer. ALSO! I will do an LPM test video for anybody that wants one on this 280mW red. The 473 isn't really worth it, it's 5-10mW LOL

I will include the battery with the red, and everything you need for the 473 is included. It's very simple, plug it in, turn on the switch, and BOOM you get a nice, cheap 473 to experience for the first time, or add to your collection!

I will take $125 for both.

Shipping internationally is extra, shipping included in price is gonna be cheap. $5 priority box for the red, and the 473 will be cheapest I can do it within the US because of it's size.

Any questions, comments, ANYTHING. Post here or send me a PM, I will answer everything I can asap. I need to get these sold, so If you think a price isn't fair and have an offer, PM ME.

Also, I could use a few things if you wanna trade them or cash + trade.

445 diodes(a-140), host with large heatsink for 1.8A builds, and drivers.

Thanks for lookin! I really hope I covered everything. But once again if I didn't ask!!

Re: For sale, 10mW 473nm, and 280mW 650

With that copper heatsink, how long is the duty cycle?

PM Sent.

Re: For sale, 10mW 473nm, and 280mW 650

As long as you want lol, it hasn't got hot on me yet with a red I'n it

Infinitas has offered me $70 for the red, sold upon receipt of payment

Now who wants a cheap 473?

Re: For sale, 10mW 473nm, and 280mW 650

Lpc-815 red build is SOLD.

Update: 5-10mW 473nm is still available. I have a few things I need and would be willing to trade. Guidesman hosts, guidesman 2 hosts, and the driver heatsinks Ray J neal has for them. I will count them exactly as what he charges them. If you have a guidesman host, in perfect condition, I will credit you $25 for it. $5 for the heatsinks, and same goes for the guidesman 2. What he charges for them, is what I'll accept as payment towards the 473.

So I would take Two guidesmans with driver heatsinks which = $60 for this 473nm.

Also, price is lowered on the $473 to $60 shipped.

I'd bite your hand off for that 472nm if it was in the uk :/

Re: FOR SALE- 5-10mW 473nm Price dropped to $60 shipped.

Thank you very much my good sir, this is one awesome piece of machinery, and deserves a good home, and SOMEBODY deserves to see and experience 473nm for their first time, and not for $300+, but for only $60

Re: FOR SALE- 5-10mW 473nm Price dropped to $60 shipped.

PM pending regarding 473...

Re: FOR SALE- 5-10mW 473nm Price dropped to $60 shipped.

I never got your pm, may be because of the Update that was just done

If the electronic boards are demounted from the aluminum plate (easy), the laser should fit into a medium Priority Mail flat-rate box ($46)

I'd have to check it more closely, but it might fit into 2 small boxes ($14 each)

Peace,
dave

I shipped one of these to Poland in a box smaller than a medium priority flatrate box without unmounting anything.

I just sat the laser head on part of the free space on the driver base / heatsink.

The head is too large to fit in a small flatrate box.

Re: FOR SALE- 5-10mW 473nm Price dropped to $60 shipped.

Yep, I am willing to ship it Any way that anybody wants. I would be willing to break it down however anybody likes. But just to make it clear, $60 shipped means shipped I'n the conus 48 states, cheapest way USPS will do it. Anything else is ur preferred method and your shipping cost

Re: FOR SALE- 5-10mW 473nm Price dropped to $60 shipped.

473nm is sold! Thanks everyone for inquiring and all the help and shipping suggestions, THESE HELPFUL posts, are the only good thing I've seen on LPF in awhile.
