Haha I remember you told me that you planned to heat your swimming pool with it!
I've got a new car now! (That doesn't mean I didn't have to pay for it though)
Did you ever figure out what was wrong with it? Was it the controller? Or an optical failure in the head? Did you ask SteveR about it? He has been around a lot of argons..
Pontiacg5:
I recommend making the 6 hour trip. Iowa is a beautiful place to drive through anyways, plus you might see some new wavelengths you've never seen before! You know, the six hour trip from here to the KS City area isn't too bad.
I never heated my pool with it. It always stopped with a "system" fail light. I replaced a burned out lamp but to no avail. POOP.
I'm too old to drag this around anymore. Heating the pool would have been a bonus!
I got the "book" with troubleshooting tree. What a bunch of crap. If I had schematics to know what to disable, it would be running now. It never "clicked" .
Hmm. I'm pretty close to Cyparagon, LaserCo., and Viperx1101, and a little ways away from Hemlock Mike.
Lots of people in California. Edit: 500th post!
I do see that you are especially clase to LaserCo. and myself.
Cyparagon is a little bit farther away, but definately not as far as Cali.
And CONGRATULATIONS on your 500th POST!!!
Maybe someday we could have a Minnesota Laser Enthusiast Meeting (MLEM?)...?
And it could be held at a coffee shop or library to start (could be somewhere else), then off to somewhere outside or inside that would be safe to show each other our lasers!!!
