Tube came yesterday packed in an original shipping box for another 1145P head so no rattling glass. Yeah! As figured my highest voltage PSU didn't fire the tube. Boo! Ended up ordering the right PSU for it from MI since I have a 6 moth no interest thingy from paypal. Can't wait to see this thing...

Nicely done! That's one project I've wanted to do for a long time. Imay have to snag one of those combiners. I wonder if they make one for R/G? As much as I love my 589nm I still want to make a R+G yellow for the fun of it.

Yeah as long as I don't hear glass rattling when the head gets here it should be ok. I may just break out the plastic and order that supply now instead of waiting until I'm in Phoenix next month. After thinking about it I don't think I'd want to carry that PSU on board a plane in either my carry...

Not true. Military (and possibly other government) flights are not tracked on either site. All commercial flights *should* be listed on both of those sites but not all GA flights are. On any given day I can listen to local ATC traffic and hear GA flights arriving/departing that aren't on...

Bummer. The highest voltage supply I have is 3100VDC from my green HeNe. Guess I'll just have to take their word for it that the tube works until I can get a proper PSU in a few weeks.

So I managed to score one of these tubes for $100 shipped and have a question for those who know more about them than I do. I'm going to get the proper supply from MI as soon as I can (which likely won't be until I'm in Phoenix at the end of next month) but was wondering if a lower voltage...

Re: Presale #2 - The Cypreus-IIb - Custom Copper Host by Sinner Oh man I wish I had the funds for one of these right now. I have the perfect build idea for one of those but right now I have be a responsible adult (hush) and do some investing for the future. I hope they're going to be around...

Been awhile since I've bumped this. Giving my higher powered head one last good long burn before I have to put it in storage for a while.

That's a helluva nice laser for what you paid! Love the pics looking into the housing.

Re: the 589nm teardown and re-alignment [PIC HEAVY] Damn between this and your other fix I may have to bug you once I have the finds to repair my 589 GLP. Pretty sure the pump diode went LED on me and I've done exactly squat with C-mount diodes and realignment.

OOo. Nice. I'd love to get my hands on an IR HeNe some day.

Nice! Getting beam shots like that from lower powered HeNe lasers is damned tough.

Re: REO LHOR-150M Bare Tube Damn! That was just with a diffraction grating and no external optics? I think tonight I need to fire up my REO tube (model 30580), let it run for awhile to get up to full power and try a grating on it again. I've seen too many REO branded multi-line tubes not to...

Nice. I'm not a fan of 532 as a wavelength but damn I do love those high powered 532s.

Re: PERMANENT THREAD: Ebay& other internet FINDS of interest- read all the OP please Nice find if you have 240V to power it.

Welcome to the gassy side. Prepare to have your wallet go into perpetual hiding. Reminds me I really need to get my HeNe tubes out again soon.

Re: The seal has finally been broken. Welcome to the gassy side. Enjoy your new addiction. I too like you started with a green HeNe then got a small bare tube red, then a bare tube green (the two tubes in my avatar), then a multiline argon, then a small red head, a bare tube yellow, a yellow...

It's already happening. Handheld lasers over 5mw are being seized by custom left and right even if they have all the required safety features and accession number as required by the FDA. This started last summer. Go back and read Event_Horizon's post about how LG's handhelds were being seized...

The LB software is not Mac compatible at all much to my annoyance. Mine uses the PL2303 chipset and there are many mac drivers for that chip and it works great with Peregrine as ARG mentioned. Some of the USB LBs used a different serial->USB chip (which one escapes me) and I'm not sure if...

Any LEO. You'll not likely live to regret it.
