It actually was AR15.com. The mods were getting nasty/scary letters from CID/NCIS types. TNVC is one of the few companies I'd trust with my money to be selling an IR weapon pointer that was civvy-legal.

Mine, black polish, focus ring, with logo is here. It's beautiful man. Just beautiful. Pray for me my diode keeps it's magic smoke inside.

Can you provide us with the NSN for that laser? I'd be REAL curious to see what the DRMO has on it. Most anything with a NSN that has to do with lasers, night-vision gear has a code of "DEMIL Q" which means it is not permissible to surplus it unless it's rendered completely inoperable, and...

Keep it up man. I know it's hell for you right now. I appreciate it all the more.

Just keep us posted Kenom, that's all. I hope it all works out for you.

Bump.

Now it's Friday... Well?

Today is Wednesday. Bump.

I'm not clear what's making you think this is a UV diode? (And by "UV" I think you mean 405nm diode for a blu-ray burner/player, which isn't quite UV either, just violet.) If it's for an X-box repair, that drive reader sled would be a DVD-ROM reader head only. It would be visible red, and not...

FYI, you can powdercoat stuff yourself with tools from Harbor Freight etc. for as little as $70 for a spraygun/charger unit. (assuming you have a compressor) and powder is as little as $4 a pound. Yours looks great! It just inspired an idea actually. I wonder if it would be possible to roll...

Thanks for the update. When's payday? I'm actually still waiting on some silicone flexi-wire and heatsink junk for the driver to arrive, so I'm not actually "ready" anyway, but would want to try and get my timing right so I'm ready to go when mine arrives. :)

Status.

Bump.

Acer's used to be the absolute worst of the worst back in the late 90's, but they've cleaned up their act quite a bit over the past decade, and they're now decently middle of the road.

I would guess that there's either actually two diodes in there producing different frequencies, IR for CD's and visible red for DVD, or that there's a complicated photodiode/photoresistor feedback sensor in there that gets used for a control loop to regulate the output. Or, since each diode...

Yep, it's safe. The tritium is a beta emitter, which is a high velocity electron. That's what makes the phosphors in the tube glow with visible light. Just like the electrons striking the phosphor dots in a CRT tube TV or computer monitor. A tritium tube in a plastic keychain, you can't even...

Me? :)

There are no LEGAL US-made tritium keyrings. Asinine as it is, tritium glow vials are relegated to "Non Trivial Use" by the US department of energy. The allowable uses are: Gunsights Compass needle and watch markers Emergency glow EXIT signs etc. Keychains and "find your camping gear in...

Herp-derp... I just got an Anslem modded clickie from Daguin in preparation for my groove to arrive. I didn't recognize the spring at all. (facepalm) LOL.. I'm sure I can source something for the driver board end somewhere easy enough. The scale on these close up macro pics keep throwing me...

Wow...
