Ok, first off, a big thank you to my friend Billy (badboybilly).
Amazing builds, great to deal with, packaged everything so securely, superfast shipping and sent a few extra gift goodies for me.
Cheers mate.

These are the best I can do atm because I'm super busy at work and only managed to get a few quick shots with my iPhone.

BTW Billy, my wife said she likes these but prefers your Gold Chain mate. :crackup:

Below is a video of the "custom-wavelength-adjustable-462-470nm-2-3w-ndb7675 "
It's even better in real life, you can really see the WL change before your eyes.

Next are some pics.

All three units, notice the lit up 'Push Buttons', gorgeous Red, Green and Blue. (Don't forget, Safety First, with my Eagle Pair Goggles).

Next: another shot with the lights turned down a bit.

Next: The Custom Adjustable NDB7675 on low then high, a noticeable change in WL.

And finally the monster NUBM47-A1 5a SXD G2 Custom 6w +
Easily visible is the WL difference compared to the Custom Adjustable NDB7675.
This thing burns like crazy and is massively heat sunk with this beautiful solid body.

So there you have it.
My Three Billy's.

Cheers

A nice haul you've got there Andrew, even without the gold chain! :crackup:
Definitely some of nicer units around, a great addition to your collection.
+Rep when I can. :)

Re: The Three Billy's

Great stuff. How's the wavelength adjustment on the blue-buttoned corrected one working for you?

Re: The Three Billy's

Very nice photos of your three newest lasers. I can see the WL change, but probably not as much as you can. I hope it holds up for you for a long time. I'm glad you got a great burner as you seem to really like it a lot. I can't remember if it has beam correction lenses or not. I mean more than a BE. :yh:

:drool: Very nice video and pics, can see the quality in your hand, what can be said, but those are some awesome builds! Enjoy!


Those lighted switches look so nice. A red, green and blue, man they look sharp! :drool:

Re: The Three Billy's

Andrew, are you going to take some beam shots of the 593.5nm? I want to see those. I'm wondering if it no longer mode hops and holds power steady now..... and for how long?

I haven't noticed a WL change on that one, it only varies in power and brightest I think.

No, just a stock lens on the burner Paul.

I wish I could Paul but I didn't buy that one. :eek:
It's too close to my 589nm so couldn't justify it.

Re: The Three Billy's

My mistake. Sorry, Andrew. You've bought so many of Billy's lasers I just assumed you got that one too. :crackup:

Re: The Three Billy's

Hey Andrew !
Thanks for all the nice words buddy, I really appreciate it mate, until u mentioned it I didn't Evan realise about the RGB colour Leds I've never but all 3 side by side that is awesome just turned out like that it wasn't planned, wow they look great together, Who would have known last week that this week someone else would have all 3 of my babies, your a very lucky man, since joining the forum 2 years ago I had only sold one other laser to Bob a few months ago, anyway the main thing is your happy witch I believe you are, they are built extremely well but just in case any problems at all I'm happy to help, my email is same as PayPal buddy, by the way all my reviews are done on a iPhone 7plus and the pics are very reasonable, what iPhone did you use, Also please take care with these babies they can start a fire in seconds, thanks again for you kindness, I had more than a few beers with the extra cash you sent me, very generous what a nice guy!

Re: The Three Billy's

Billy thank you for your kind words.
I'm blushing.
I will cherish these always and they are a constant reminder of the nice fellow who built them.
These units have already started a fire .... one in my heart for quality lasers.

I used the iPhone 6S and found it gives a better beam colour than my Canon DSLR.
The iPhone 7Plus would be even better at this I suspect.
When I get some time I will take more photos and vids.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised today by another package from Billy.
I wasn't expecting it till next week.

The Custom 477nm with Battery Monitor arrived and boy was I blown away.
This thing is so beautiful, the display lights up indicating the battery voltage and has the most gorgeous host.

Here's all four of my Billy's now.
BTW had to update my avatar just for Mr Alaskan. :crackup:

I've organised a dedicated case for all four, I just need to work out the layout before plucking the foam out but they'll be safe and sound in there.

IMG_4654.JPG


and of course the "Baby Blue Beam" just blew me away.
Absolutely gorgeous beam and the WL is mmmmmm...... :drool:

Thank you Billy, you're a Champ.
Thanks everyone for following my progress in this thread.
Now I can concentrate on some nice beam shots from these babies.

Cheers
RB
